What surprised you the most about studying at Kent Business School?<\/strong> What do you love the most about studying Business and Management?<\/strong> Tell us about your social life at Kent.\u00a0<\/strong> I also work as an Outreach Officer for the #RespecttheNo student group, promoting consent and safety around campus. When I\u2019m not out and about in Canterbury, you can bet that I\u2019m at the Drill Hall Library catching up on lecture notes or having bubble tea with my flatmates on Gillingham High Street.<\/p>\n What do you wish you knew before you started at Kent Business School that could have helped you prepare?<\/strong> Where do you want your degree and experience to take you after you graduate?<\/strong> Interested in studying BSc Business and Management with a Year in Industry?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m always going to be grateful for the number of opportunities available here. There\u2019s so much to explore within the content that my uni modules have to offer, as well as being able to join internal schemes like the ambassador programme … and recently I joined the Business Start-Up journey programme, which so far is inspiring but challenging too.<\/p>\n
\nI love how engaging and encouraging the lecturers are. Most are always open for questions and discussions, which makes learning in class a lot more memorable and exciting for me. Currently, my favourite modules are Retail Sales Management and Economics \u2013 both make waking up for 9am lectures worth it!<\/p>\n
\nLast summer, I applied for an editorial role at the University\u2019s student media group, InQuire. Being a part of the newspaper has allowed me to meet so many new students from different communities and I really enjoy getting to know their stories and being able to share them. Frequently, I commute to the Canterbury Campus to conduct interviews or go into the Student Media Centre to edit the paper!<\/p>\n
\nSince I\u2019m doing a Year in Industry as a part of my course, I wish I was more prepared for how intense, overwhelming and nerve wrecking the application process can get. Knowing about the resources and services the university provides really helps and getting a head start for sure eases the agony.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve always wanted to work in publishing and media. Something creative for sure. I want to be able to start up or help manage a business operating in one of those industries, and hopefully one day provide support for the communities I care about.<\/p>\n
