Edna’s utilised all the help at hand during her time at Kent. Now in the final year of her Politics degree she’s taking a look back at how she got there. <\/p>\n
The support I\u2019ve received from the Politics lecturing staff has been unmatched. Everyone is approachable and eager to discuss academics, or even just have a general chat about university life and postgraduate plans during their office hours. <\/span><\/p>\n I remember feeling anxious about studying a course that could be demanding at times, especially with the added pressure of a research dissertation. But the staff support you every step of the way, keeping you informed about any updates or changes to modules and the course.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n My academic advisor has been especially helpful in guiding me through new changes and helping me navigate choices like selecting the right modules. I was able to figure out what suited me best, whether it was modules with exams or those entirely coursework-based.<\/p>\n Whenever I\u2019ve had doubts or challenges, such as with my dissertation, they\u2019ve been incredibly supportive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The course itself offers a wide variety of disciplines. I became particularly fond of political philosophy and international relations. Later in the course, I was also pushed out of my comfort zone with research using data and numbers. This not only broadened my perspective but also equipped me with valuable skills that employers appreciate.<\/p>\n The class sizes are small to medium, striking the perfect balance. They\u2019re not too intimidating, yet large enough to meet new people and make friends. As someone who did a year abroad, this was important for me, as I could still connect with others who shared the same experience. We were in similar modules and were able to stay connected even when other friends had graduated the year before.<\/p>\n For anyone considering studying Politics and International Relations at Kent, I can confidently say this is an excellent place for those passionate about current and international affairs. The staff are incredibly dedicated, and I\u2019m grateful to be part of such a supportive and vibrant community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Find out more about the BA in Politics and International Relations<\/a> at Kent.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
