How often will I be on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our students have timetabled \u201ccontact hours\u201d for short periods most days of the week, if not every day, totalling roughly 10-15 hours a week. This will include large lectures and also some smaller group learning in seminars and practical sessions. Psychology at Kent also offers weekly Feedback+ workshops and drop-ins which are a great resource for our students. Workshops can focus on things like time management, writing in APA style, and giving impactful presentations, and the one-to-ones are useful for making the most of your feedback – look out for the 2019\/20 series schedule! Students can also enhance their career prospects by participating in co-curricular research and work experience schemes. While 15 hours may not sound like a lot of time, you will also spend additional time learning and researching independently, either in the library or wherever you find works for you (caf\u00e9s, at home etc.). There are other opportunities to interact with staff as well – make sure you meet with your Academic Adviser, who is your personal tutor!<\/p>\n
