The Programming Languages and Systems (PLAS) research group spans the
breadth and depth of practical and theoretical aspects of programming
languages and system building related to languages. Our work goes across
paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic) and is
complemented by our systems research in concurrency, relaxed memory,
verified compilation, verification, language prototypes, garbage
collection, and tools. All our work is linked by a shared vision of the
power and impact of programming languages on the rest of Computer Science.
The PLAS group at Kent has a long history of contributions to the field and
continues to be a hotbed of programming language research in the South East
of England:

Overlooking the city centre, and with 125 nationalities represented, the
Canterbury campus has a very cosmopolitan feel. Canterbury is a small city
that retains parts of its medieval walls (with Roman foundations). Famous
for its heritage (Canterbury Cathedral; Chaucer’s Tales; etc), Canterbury
is a vibrant community and UNESCO World Heritage site whose culture and
leisure facilities are enhanced by hosting three universities. The city and
surrounding region combines an attractive and affordable environment,
excellent schools, many beaches nearby, and fast transport links to London
and mainland Europe.
