The Universitys Tonbridge Centre has been established for over 20 years and offers opportunities for both academic study and bespoke training for local business and government communities.
Part-time courses are available at certificate, diploma and full BA (Hons) degree level. Classes are generally of two hours duration at the same time each week in the daytime or evening. Additionally, a range of short courses and day schools are offered throughout the year as well as a summer programme.
The Centre is developing as a base for the delivery of professional and executive education. In collaboration with the Kent Business School and Kent Enterprise the programme has been launched with a series of free networking sessions on topics relevant to the current business climate.
