Studying
University study offers students a chance to explore a subject, or subjects, that they are passionate about, and learn from experts in their field.
The modular nature of courses allows for a freedom in both choice of subjects and topics and mode of study. There are opportunities to acquire new skills by studying on different pathways. These include:
- taking a language, which normally involves a year studying or working abroad
- taking a sandwich year and working in industry
- learning extra computing skills
- taking the new Kent Enterprise programme.
