University of Kent - Paris School of Arts and Culture

Kent's Paris School of Arts and Culture opened in Montparnasse in 2009 and has gone from strength to strength. With a long history as the European Capital of Culture, from Roman times to the present, Paris has seen a number of political regimes rise and fall. Discovering the impact the city has had on its citizens, and vice-versa, is all part of the pleasure of studying in Paris.

The University of Kent's Paris School of Arts and Culture offers a unique selection of innovative and cross-disciplinary postgraduate degrees in the Humanities. Students can choose to spend the entire academic year at our Paris centre or, begin their one-year MA in the world heritage city of Canterbury and relocate in the spring term to the Montparnasse district of Paris.

Our programmes offer you the exceptional opportunity to study film, art, creative writing, literature and history, following in the footsteps of eminent intellectuals who lived in, and took inspiration from, these cities.

Staff teaching in Paris are also active researchers in their specialist disciplines and their academic schools are among the UK leaders for Research Power, Quality and Intensity (REF 2021).

Our graduates enjoy a high success rate in pursuing their chosen careers after graduation. Helped by the experience of studying in another country and working closely with leading academic staff, our recent graduates have gone on to work in areas including arts management, teaching and education administration; have obtained posts as editors and film producers; or continued their studies moving on to a PhD.

During your studies you can choose to undertake one internship as an integral part of your academic programme of study.  Former students secured internships at the British Council (France), UNESCO, an arts advertising agency, publishing houses, an architectural firm, and the European Commission in Brussels.
