They are always ready to help. Everyone is just always willing to help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been your favourite topic\/module on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favourite module on my course so far has been Survival Models and my favourite topic has been Graduation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you found most interesting on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have found the fact that every module is connected to be really interesting. It\u2019s like a big picture with pieces that fit perfectly. My experience in Kent I would say has been amazing and very life changing. It has given me a deeper understanding of my programme and my career and I would say that I\u2019m a better student now than I use to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you found the School to be supportive? If so, how has the School supported you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have found the School to be very supportive. Where I come from, things are really different in terms of teaching. Kent has very qualified staff who know exactly what they are teaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the Sibson Building? What do you think the Building means for students within the School?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Sibson Building is a very beautiful building and very well designed. Students generally like new facilities, so the Sibson Building is really refreshing, and convenient for those who live close by.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you sum up your course in three words?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Challenging and Interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you recommend studying at Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would absolutely recommend studying at Kent.\u00a0 My kids will come here hopefully. I have experienced a great taught programme.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"kent-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><div class=\"kent-video-wrapper\"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='1140' height='672' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cx7DALx7JPw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>For more information about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/courses\/postgraduate\/176\/international-masters-in-applied-actuarial-science\">International MSc in Applied Actuarial Science at Kent click here<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasstudent\/contact-us\/\">contact our Admissions Assistant.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-portia-abena-kubinson-international-masters-msc-in-applied-actuarial-science\/&amp;t=Student Spotlight | Portia Abena Kubinson \u2013 International Master\u2019s MSc in Applied Actuarial Science' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Student Spotlight | Portia Abena Kubinson \u2013 International Master\u2019s MSc in Applied Actuarial Science%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-portia-abena-kubinson-international-masters-msc-in-applied-actuarial-science\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-twitter' title='Share via Twitter'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-portia-abena-kubinson-international-masters-msc-in-applied-actuarial-science\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-google-plus' title='Share via Google Plus'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-portia-abena-kubinson-international-masters-msc-in-applied-actuarial-science\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Portia Abena Kubinson \u2013 International Master\u2019s MSc in Applied Actuarial Science' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-linkedin' title='Share via Linked In'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='mailto:content=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-portia-abena-kubinson-international-masters-msc-in-applied-actuarial-science\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Portia Abena Kubinson \u2013 International Master\u2019s MSc in Applied Actuarial Science' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portia Abena Kubinson is studying the International Master\u2019s MSc in Applied Actuarial Science at Kent.
