With data skills in high demand, why not convert to a Q-Step degree? It can provide another dimension to your studies and a big boost to your employability.
Can I apply?
To be eligible, you need to be a first or second year student on one of the following undergraduate courses:

Sociology
How it works
The first step towards converting your degree is to contact one of our two directors, Raluca Popp (R.Popp@kent.ac.uk) or Trude Sundberg (T.Sundberg@kent.ac.uk).
You can convert at any point during your first or second year if you are a student in SSPSSR or PolIR, and in your first year if you are a Law student.
If you decide to convert your degree, you take two modules Stage 3, you choose to write a dissertation or attend a work placement.
Gingerbread is a charity that supports single parents. My placement role is to survey and analyse Gingerbread services and how they are reaching single parents.

Boost your employability
Q-Step isn't the only way to give you CV an extra boost while studying at Kent. You could enrol on a Study Plus course, or become a volunteer, or start working part-time. They are all good ways to extend your skills and gain some extra experience.
