University of Kent

UKC has blown my expectations of university life. From the people I've met through my accommodation, through to my course and extracurricular activities. It is a haven for bettering yourself and learning new things in a beautiful and safe environment. The academics at Kent Law School (KLS) are friendly and approachable and always are there to teach you interesting and practical modules and offer personal support. Similarly the careers team and student ambassador team are of the highest professionalism and present work in an invigorating way. Despite the current climate, I am sure my final year ,through the people at Kent, will ensure my university experience is not hindered.

The university is not focused on the development of their students. The teaching is poor, lectures either did no have the knowledge depth to be teaching the subject or they did not have the communication capabilities to get it across. Subjects were just rushed out to get the information across, very boring and no interest in developing the students to be knowledgeable in the subject. The university experience was poor, lack of support outside of the studies, which in themselves was only 16 hours a week.

The Brussels School of International Studies is a great International relations-International Law school based in Brussels, Belgium. The staff are great and very helpful and the professors are some of the best and most knowledge in the IR field in Europe. Many of them already books and/or are working on some at the same as they teach. Students can graduate with one simple degree in IR or they can also mix it with a focus or a minor such as conflict studies or human rights law …

My 4 years at the University of Kent have provided me with so many memorable experiences, from an academic perspective, I found my course to be the perfect balance of accessible and challenging. The teaching staff are committed to helping you to achieve your best both academically and personally and during my time in Kent, there has been a constant and methodical improvement and development of university facilities, with the recently re-developed Templeman Library receiving the coveted Times Higher Education 'Best Library Team' award. Anyone choosing to study here will also find a vibrant and varied nightlife were you are sure to find something you like, the various bars on campus blend affordability with experimentation and any night out is sure to feature a visit to the on-campus club, Venue, which is busy regardless of the night. The University of Kent blends academic and social achievement together well and I would wholeheartedly recommend it any prospective undergraduates.

The opportunity to get up to 8 IFoA professional exemptions in my Undergrad years and 5 more in Postgrad. Amazing professors that are always willing to help. The university has a year in industry program, which is good for your experience and looks good on your CV.

Kent is a decent university with a bright social life if you know the right people. It can be a but boring sometimes and the expenses do tend to be higher than other universities. However, as long as you make the correct friends and study hard it will be good for you. It has a lot of its own restaurants and places to chill. The library is one of the best parts about the university. It’s a good university, wouldn’t call it the best however. There does tend to be a slight racial undertone within the university that people should be aware of considering it calls itself a multicultural university.
