Woolf College is the fifth college of the University of Kent and was established in 2008, following the founding of Darwin College 38 years earlier. The college was officially opened on April 9, 2009, by Allan Willett.[2][3] It is built and managed by University Partnerships Programme (UPP).[4] The college is located on Giles Lane in Canterbury, England, and is named after the writer Virginia Woolf.

The college accommodates both postgraduate students and returning undergraduate students, providing modern facilities designed to support academic and social engagement. The college provides self-catered accommodation with separate blocks for undergraduates[5] and postgraduates.[6] The college features both standard and large ensuite rooms, with students sharing a kitchen and dining area with 5 to 8 flatmates. There are approximately 500 rooms available within the college.
