While a number of you are attending the same program, you would not be considered a group, for purposes of applying fora UK visa.
The appropriate visa will depend the length of the programme at Kent in which you’ve enrolled. As with any university with international students, the University of Kent web site offers comprehensive information on what is needed and how to proceed.
A short-term study visa allows you to study short courses in the UK and is suitable if you are over 18. To qualify for a short-term study visa your course must be less than 6 months in duration unless you are studying an English language course of up to 11 months duration. If you will be studying a pre-sessional English course and intend to continue your studies you should apply for entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) and not as a short-term student.
