The cities of Canterbury and Rome have been linked since the Middle Ages by the pilgrimage route Via Francigena. The University of Kent is in the process of expanding programmes at its newest and galleries. Both the School of Arts and the School of European Culture and Languages offer programmes that provide students a valuable opportunity to spend a term studying in Rome. Students commence their one-year MA in the world heritage city of Canterbury, and then relocate in the spring term to the American University of Rome. In Rome, students enjoy the benefits of a traditional campus European centre in Rome, taking advantage of the city’s wealth of architecture, art and history, while offering students a rare opportunity to have direct access to archaeological sites, museums, and university facilities, along with the additional resources of Rome’s specialised and extensive libraries.
