I\u2019ve definitely taken advantage of office hours and the lecturers\u2019 willingness to help me understand things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been your favourite topic\/module on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favourite modules on my course have been the ones that are similar to what I did on my placement year. Anything that includes data analysis and optimisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you found most interesting on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really interesting when things that I\u2019ve studied have turned out to have clear real-world implications and I can see that what I\u2019m studying is actually useful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you found the School to be supportive? If so, how has the School supported you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The School has been really great at helping me to prioritise my degree and move past any setbacks.<\/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 beautifully designed and modern, and the food is gorgeous and healthy! I think the Sibson Building means that we have a space to study that\u2019s ours. We don\u2019t have to go to the library.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you sum up your course in three words?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interesting. Useful. Challenging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you recommend studying at Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes I\u2019d recommend studying at Kent. It\u2019s a great university, the location is lovely, and the gym is amazing.<\/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\/kBjR-dzgFG8?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><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-kezia-huttlestone-bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-a-year-in-industry\/&amp;t=Student Spotlight | Kezia Huttlestone \u2013 BSc Mathematics and Statistics with a Year in Industry' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Student Spotlight | Kezia Huttlestone \u2013 BSc Mathematics and Statistics with a Year in Industry%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/student-spotlight-kezia-huttlestone-bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-a-year-in-industry\/' 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-kezia-huttlestone-bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-a-year-in-industry\/' 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-kezia-huttlestone-bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-a-year-in-industry\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Kezia Huttlestone \u2013 BSc Mathematics and Statistics with a Year in Industry' 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-kezia-huttlestone-bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-a-year-in-industry\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Kezia Huttlestone \u2013 BSc Mathematics and Statistics with a Year in Industry' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kezia Huttlestone achieved Upper Second Class Honours in the BSc Mathematics and Statistics with a Year in Industry in 2017.
