Best of luck to everyone receiving results this week!

See results release dates.

How do I view my results?

Once the University has formally released results following a Board of Examiners, you will receive an email to your University of Kent email address. This email will contain a link to the results server, where your results letter is published.

Not passed?

It can feel very upsetting and overwhelming if you don’t pass, but you have options and we are here to help! See the exams website for your options and how to get support.

Please take any opportunity when you’re visiting campus to return books you no longer need, especially if you’re a final year student and are leaving Kent this year, or are going to be away from campus over the summer. Books you have borrowed can still be reserved by other people during the vacation.

Your options for returning books

• If you’re on the Canterbury campus, use the book returns drop off point in the Welcome Hall or the external book drop on Library Road.
• If you live in the Medway area, you can return Templeman Library books to the Drill Hall Library at the Universities of Medway campus.
• Posting books: depending on weight and volume, you could consider breaking up a large parcel into smaller ones. Courier services might be cheaper than Royal Mail and pick up the parcel from you. Whatever method you use, please make sure you get a receipt.

Our postal address is:

Book Returns,
Templeman Library,
University of Kent,
Canterbury, Kent,
CT2 7NU

If you’re unable to return your books by any of these methods, please get in touch with us and we’ll work out a solution with you.

Hi, I’m Tim from the Skills for Academic Success team, here with a few hints and tips as you prepare to resit one or more of your exams.

Firstly, stay motivated. The satisfaction of successfully passing your exams awaits you, so stay highly-focussed on reaching this important goal over the coming weeks. Free up as much time as you can to ensure success, perhaps by rescheduling some less important activities.

Consider any feedback that you may have received on your previous exams. What does it indicate that you need to improve for your resit? Perhaps you need to improve your depth of knowledge around a particular topic, or ensure that you include more key ingredients in your answers. Identify and use feedback to help you steer your preparation.

Reflect on how you managed the previous exam. Perhaps it was not lack of knowledge that let you down, but your exam technique. Perhaps you lost track of time so that you failed to complete the exam paper, or forgot to plan your answers before writing and lost your way halfway through them. Identify and note down any potential improvements to your exam technique that you can make, and practise them before your resit.

Plan your time so that you use it as efficiently as possible between now and your resit. Having identified gaps in your knowledge or aspects of your exam technique that require improvement, draw up a schedule on a time planner that will enable you to address all these issues in time for your exam. Break each day into one- or two-hour chunks of study time, each allocated to an achievable goal – be that revising from your notes on a specific topic, practising writing an essay under timed conditions, or committing important facts, formulas or theories to memory.

Remember that your exam is a performance. While you’ll want to work very hard between now and your resit to achieve the best possible result, you will need to stay fit and well at the same time. Establish a routine that balances your revision with enough sleep, regular breaks, good food and fresh air to keep you in excellent shape for your exam.

Finally, consider a 1-1 with an advisor from the Skills for Academic Success team, to discuss revision skills, essay writing, exam techniques or any related topics before you resit your exam. You can book an appointment via the Skills for Academic Success website, where you will also find printable time planners to help you plot your course to success.

Good luck with your resit.

Do you know the career you want to follow but need advice on how to get there? Or, are you unsure of what you want to do next? Either way, a meeting with one of our careers advisers can help you to take the next step. 

Meetings are relaxed and informal, designed to make open discussion easy. To get the most out of your session, it’s worth doing some initial research in advance, however, if you don’t know where to start with this, book a session anyway and we can help you begin. 

Our advisers are impartial and will help you to explore your options objectively; they’ll make sure you are aware of the pros and cons. Career choice is a process not an event, the professional advice we provide can help you focus your research in the right areas.  

What is a careers guidance appointment? 

It is a 45-minute space to talk about careers. This can be anything from; ‘what can I do with my degree?’ To ‘how do I become a..?’ or ‘how can I gain work experience or get a placement?’ or any other career related topic that is important to you. 

I am graduating soon, can I still get support? 

You can get support from the Careers and Employability Service at Kent for 3 years after you leave! This means we speak to people from all over the world which makes our jobs very interesting indeed! You just need to ensure you register as an alumni on the Career Hub using your personal email address once you’re nearing the end of your course.  

Can I use the Careers service in vacations? 

Yes we are open all year-round including vacations.  We are only closed when the University is closed on dates such as weekends and bank holidays. If it’s helpful to have an online appointment we can use Teams. 

How do I book? 

Visit the Careers and Employability Service web pages and click ‘book an appointment’ or find out more about the events and services we offer.  Looking forward to seeing you soon!
