Student  Protection Plan

Every Higher Education provider is required by the Office for Students (OfS) to have a Student Protection Plan in place. The Student Protection Plan sets out what students can expect to happen to address any risks related to the continuation or completion of their studies, how these would be managed and communicated to students.

As KMMS is a collaboration between Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent, the Student Protection Plans for both Universities apply to our students. In the event of any significant change, this would involve:

  • The Universities working together to manage the continuity of delivery of the programme and minimise disruption to students
  • Transferring students to Brighton and Sussex Medical School to complete their studies, in the event of closure of the School or programme before GMC accreditation is achieved in 2025.

For more detail you can access the full Student Protection Plans via the Canterbury Christ Church and University of Kent websites.
