Joey Chong graduated with First Class Honours in the BSc Actuarial Science with a Year in Industry in 2017. <\/p>\n
Why did you choose to study at the University of Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n I had a good experience when I met representatives from the Kent in Malaysia. I knew that Kent was one of the best universities for Actuarial Science<\/a> and I didn\u2019t want to study in a big city, so Canterbury was perfect.<\/p>\n What is the best thing about studying in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science?<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the best things about the School is how supportive the lecturers are, they really helped me settle back into studying when I returned from my Year in Industry.<\/p>\n What has been your favourite topic\/module on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t pick just one, but I enjoyed most of my final year modules more as they were more hands-on and practical.<\/p>\n What have you found most interesting on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n The practicality of my modules in third year. It was really interesting using industry related software like PROPHET and applying the theories we know into real life examples.<\/p>\n Have you found the School to be supportive? If so, how has the School supported you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, I found the School to be supportive. I struggled a little coming back from my placement year, but I am thankful to have had the support of both the lecturers and members of staff.<\/p>\n What do you think of the Sibson Building? What do you think the Building means for students within the School?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think it is a great move forward and makes the School more visible. It also provides a central hub for SMSAS students. Students are now able to have revision sessions closer to their lecturers.<\/p>\n Can you sum up your course in three words?<\/strong><\/p>\n Challenging and exciting.<\/p>\n Would you recommend studying at Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n Definitely! If I were to go back in time knowing what I know now, I would still pick Kent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information about BSc Actuarial Science with a Year in Industry at Kent, click here<\/a> or contact our friendly Admissions Team<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
