Great to hear from the Education Sec that the govt continues to support & value the contribution of international students 🌏👩🎓
The message is: if you meet university & visa entry requirements, the British government and British people will welcome you

This is why local media is so important. We funded this 100% ourselves, purely to support hyper local democracy. If organisations like us didn’t exist, turnouts would be even worse. Well done to the @KMTV_Kent! Very proud of days like today!

Introducing our new Chancellor... @yolandabrown OBE DL 🎷
We're delighted to announce that the double-MOBO winning musician and broadcaster has been appointed to the role of Chancellor, succeeding Gavin Esler who has retired from the position after almost 10 years in the role.
Having graduated with a first-class undergraduate masters degree in European Management Science with Spanish from the University’s Kent Business School, before going on to achieve her second masters degree and undertake a PhD, YolanDa will be installed as Chancellor during one of our graduation ceremonies in July.
Speaking about her appointment, YolanDa said: 'My time at the University of Kent was character building, life affirming, and a bucket full of emotions. Every single time I am on campus a new memory returns, so you can imagine my joy accepting this role as Chancellor. The University of Kent has always been at the forefront of fostering a diverse, inclusive, and vibrant community. Its dedication to providing outstanding education, promoting research that makes a real-world difference, and its unwavering support for students from all walks of life resonate deeply with my own values.
'I am excited to work alongside the talented staff, and students to build on this foundation as the university strives towards new heights of achievement.'

After shaking over 30,000 hands at graduations (yes, we counted), Gavin Esler's time as University Chancellor is officially ending this summer, after he confirmed last year that he'd be moving on.
To celebrate his back-to-back five-year terms, we wanted to share a few standout moments from his time with us, which include countless graduation ceremonies, In Conversation events with the likes of Alan Davies and Prue Leith, and so much more.
Keep an eye on our channels later this week as we prepare to introduce our new chancellor...
