Quite a bit to choose from the obvious being it's a well rated university for many subjects.

For me the best thing about the university of Kent was the feel abd atmosphere. It just felt like a university which I didn't get visiting others.

anyone applied for Accounting & Finance?

I do Accounting & Finance if you have any questions

Hi, i was wondering how good the lectures and modules are on this course. Also is the accomodation good, and travel time to get to lectures and get food?

Personally I think all the lecturers are really good. Especially for Business Law if you take that module.

You do 4 modules in the first year; financial accounting, quantitative models and methods, economics and business law.

Financial accounting is really interesting in my opinion. It helps to have done business a-level I think because there is a bit on ratio analysis and lots of income statements and balance sheets. Basically as long as you go to your seminars you'll be fine with the exam because most of the seminar questions are past exam questions. Also the past papers are all pretty similar. The lecturers and seminar leaders are really good.

Quantitative models and methods is basically just maths and statistics. The first 5 weeks are on computing. You just have an assignment to do which looks difficult at the start but it gets easier. The maths/stats part will be fine if you've done maths a-level. If not, you should still be fine because you get given all the slides in the lectures and go through examples in the seminars. Again, past papers are all pretty similar so you know what to revise.

With economics you either do mode A or mode B. Mode A is if you've done Economics A-Level and mode B if you haven't. I'm doing mode B. This is probably my most difficult module. As long as you go to the lectures, seminars and do the reading you'll be fine. The past papers all have comprehensive mark schemes so if you go through them you know what will come up.

Business Law is an optional module but pretty much everyone takes it because you get an exemption from one of the exams if you want to qualify as an accountant. This module is really interesting. The lecturer is brilliant and she's also my seminar leader so they are really helpful as well. There is quite a lot of content and cases to learn though.

I stayed in Tyler Court C which was great. The rooms are big and so are the kitchens. It takes a maximum of 10/15 minutes to get to lectures. Some are only 5 minutes away. And there are places to get food all over campus

Cheers for the response, I do Maths, Economics Accounting A Level and i did Business and IT also at AS. Hopefully they all come in handy

When i applied for Accomodation my main choice is Tyler Court C ahnd 2nd choice Tyler Court A & B. Good to know theres someone that likes those. Still got a few exams to go but confident i'll get in Thanks
