The university has so many opportunities on offer so try them all out.

What attracted you to studying at Kent? 

Everything is so accessible on the Canterbury campus, also the reviews from current students on my course were great.

Which modules have you enjoyed the most and why?

The modules l enjoyed the most are human resources, and cultures of sustainability because l am interested in HR and l enjoyed learning about different systems of sustainability in different countries.

What has your experience been like adapting to blended learning?

At the beginning, l found it difficult to adapt to online learning because having lessons in my room felt so unnatural, however as time went on l was able to work to a schedule and manage my time better.

Do you plan to spend a year abroad or in industry?

l am going to be taking a year abroad in September. I will be studying in Bogota, Colombia for six months and Zaragoza, Spain for six months.

What are the facilities like on campus?

The facilities on campus are great, we have everything: cafés, private study areas, chill areas, restaurants, shops, and clubs as well. The campus is really an all-in-one place and l love it.

What about the social life?

I think the social life really is dependent on how much you are willing to put yourself out there. Kent students are extremely friendly, so it is very easy to make friends, however, l would suggest that you throw yourself into everything and talk to everyone before you find your ‘clan’.

What kind of career do you hope to follow when you leave?

l hope to pursue career in digital marketing and content creation, language teaching and business coaching because these are things that l am extremely passionate about.

Any advice for somebody thinking of coming to Kent?

My advice is, try everything. The university has so many opportunities on offer so try them all out, you might discover a new passion along the way. Don’t limit yourself to just interests/opportunities related to your degree.
