Introducing our most recent Kent Diamonds, our incredible Student Tennis coaches, Julia, Ryan, Alessia and Roxanne 🎾

We chatted to them about how their coaching impacts our Kent community, what life at Kent is like and what's next.

For Alessia, coaching is about much more than tennis: “I believe sport plays a key role in life, not only because it helps people stay healthy both physically and mentally, but also because it brings people together and strengthens communities.”

From helping players build confidence to creating a welcoming and inclusive community, our Student Tennis Coaches are making a real difference both on and off the court, well done to you all! 👏

Graduate spotlight - Luxshan S. - Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 🎓

When I first started university, I wasn't even sure it was the right path for me. But my passion for anatomy and sport led me to study Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation at Kent, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Over the past four years, I've learned so much, not just about injury prevention, rehabilitation, biomechanics, and performance, but about myself too.

A huge thank you to all of my lecturers (Karthikeyan Muthumayandi, Dr. Dr. Claire Melanie Boucher, Sadie Jones, Georgina Dean) for their patience, support, and guidance throughout my degree. Every lesson, every conversation, and every bit of encouragement has played a part in getting me to this point. I genuinely wouldn't be here without everything you've taught me.

This degree is also a reflection of the incredible people I've met along the way. Through football, societies, placements, and simply stepping outside of my comfort zone, I've built friendships and memories that I'll carry with me for life. Canterbury has challenged me to grow in ways I never expected, and I'm leaving as a far more confident and well-rounded person than the one who arrived four years ago.

To all my friends, thank you. Thank you for the laughs, the late-night sessions, the celebrations, the setbacks, and for being there through every high and low. You all made this experience unforgettable.

Most importantly, thank you to my family. Your belief in me never wavered, even when mine did. You stood by me through every challenge, celebrated every achievement, and reminded me to keep going when things got tough. None of this would have been possible without your love and support.

This achievement means even more when I think back to where my journey began. As a young teenager, after moving to the UK without speaking a word of English, I was told that university wasn't something I'd ever achieve. Today, standing here as a graduate proves that no matter where you start, dedication, consistency, and resilience can take you further than you ever imagined.

Shoutout to Kent Law School student Tabitha Cole, who recently returned from the Dance World Cup as vice world champion! 🏆 🌎

Balancing the demands of a law degree with a lifelong passion for dance takes incredible dedication. Tabitha has trained in a wide range of styles, including ballet, modern, lyrical, Greek, Scottish and tap, and her hard work has taken her to the world stage representing England in Dublin 💃

While dance has taken Tabitha to the world stage, her passion for law has been with her since childhood too, she said: “From a young age I knew I wanted a career in law. I even took myself to the Canterbury courts to sit in on the proceedings, fascinated by the barristers. I chose to study at Kent because of its exceptional faculty and approach to legal education. Rather than encouraging students to simply recite the law, Kent teaches us to analyse it, to understand how it has developed and to question it.”

Class of 2026 graduate spotlight - Bradley Kingswell - Data Science with a Year in Industry 📊

I am delighted to announce that I have graduated from the University of Kent with a First-Class Honours in Economics with Data Science with a Year in Industry.

My time at university was enriched by my placement year at Volkswagen Financial Services (UK). This was the highlight of my four years, where I gained invaluable industry experience and developed both personally and professionally. It was a fantastic environment to learn, grow, and put theory into practice.

It has been an incredible journey, and I am immensely proud of the dedication and resilience it took me to reach this milestone. I would like to thank my family and friends for their continuous encouragement and for being in my corner every step of the way.

Excited to see what the next chapter of my career brings!
