Students will no longer be available to do Religious Studies at the University of Kent following the institution’s decision to phase out the course.

This move is part of a larger plan to phase out six courses, including art history, anthropology, health and social care, journalism, music and audio technology, and philosophy, following a consultation process.

Despite this decision, current students can still graduate and complete their degrees without disruption. The university has assured that support, including teaching, supervision, and career guidance, will continue for those enrolled in the affected programs.

In a statement, the university cited financial challenges as the driving force behind these changes, emphasising that the decision does not reflect on the quality or societal importance of the discontinued courses. The goal is to align with national student enrolment projections and remain competitive.
