I also decided to come to Kent because I was awarded the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/scholarships\/search\/FNADACEX1901\">Academic Excellence Scholarship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best thing about studying in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best thing about studying in the School is having challenging questions and problems to solve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been your favourite topic\/module on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Business Economics has been my favourite topic so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you found most interesting on your course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have found the presentation for the statistics module in my first year one of the most interesting parts of my course so far. We were given a lot of data and were asked to come out with our own topic and research it.<\/p>\n<p>I also really love the connection between my course and the real world \/ the application of what I have learnt in the real world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you found the School to be supportive? If so, how has the School supported you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes! The lecturers are very supportive and friendly. I often look for them even outside of their office hours.<\/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>Sibson is huge, modern and spacious. It&#8217;s a second home for me as an Actuarial Science student, because I spend almost half of my time here. I particularly like the Bloomberg Suite where I receive full access to the Bloomberg Terminal. The Bloomberg Terminal has always been a useful source to get various financial information for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you sum up your course in three words?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep solving puzzles!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you recommend studying at Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would definitely recommend studying at Kent.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/courses\/undergraduate\/7\/actuarial-science\">Click here for more information about BSc Actuarial Science<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasstudent\/contact-us\/\">contact our friendly Admissions Team<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasstudent\/student-spotlight-cheng-hong-lim-bsc-actuarial-science\/&amp;t=Student Spotlight | Cheng Hong Lim - BSc 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 | Cheng Hong Lim - BSc Actuarial Science%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasstudent\/student-spotlight-cheng-hong-lim-bsc-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\/smsasstudent\/student-spotlight-cheng-hong-lim-bsc-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\/smsasstudent\/student-spotlight-cheng-hong-lim-bsc-actuarial-science\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Cheng Hong Lim - BSc 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\/smsasstudent\/student-spotlight-cheng-hong-lim-bsc-actuarial-science\/&amp;title=Student Spotlight | Cheng Hong Lim - BSc Actuarial Science' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheng shares his experiences studying BSc Actuarial Science at the University of Kent, Canterbury.
