Official University of Kent 2023 Applicant Thread

Original post by Jbc1998

Currently waiting for an admissions decision from the school of psychology for MSc Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology. I applied on September 17, and have just finished providing additional information about my statistics knowledge from my current program. Any tips for waiting? Is this a good sign that they are taking this long?

Hi there!

I can understand how frustrating it can be to wait to hear back from universities after you've sent out your application. If it helps, while you are waiting, you can contact the admission office for the School of Psychology as they will be able to give you more answers and information on next steps. These are their contacts: T: 01227768896 E: [email protected].

Congratulations for sending in your application and I am sure that, as frustrating as it is, waiting is still part of the process. I hope it all goes smooth for you and best of luck!

Hi!

I have received an offer to study BSc Psychology at the University of Kent starting September 2023. I came across a different course called BSc Psychology with Forensic Psychology which is similar (with many overlapping modules) and has interested me a lot. I am wondering if it would be possible to switch from the BSc Psychology program to the BSc Psychology with Forensic Psychology program now after having applied and received an offer from the university and if so, how/when would I go about doing that? Is that something I should do before I start university in the fall or should I wait until the program begins to do it?

Thanks!

Hi there!

It's great to hear that you will be joining us in September! Kent is a great university and I hope you will enjoy studying here. When it comes to changing course, it's best to contact the division you will be joining (in your case, the School of Psychology) and discuss further steps with them. They might ask you to fill a request form which will go through a series of approvals before you can get your answer. If you are looking to change course before the start of term in September, feel free to reach out to your division as soon as you can just to avoid any hiccups down the line :smile:

I will drop a few contacts and links that you can use to reach out to different departs to get more directions.

This is the university number where the admissions team might be able to help you: Tel: +44 (0)1227 764000
This is the link to a portal to ask the admissions team questions if you can't reach them by phone: rhttps://evision.kent.ac.uk/urd/sits.urd/run/siw_ipp_lgn.login?
This is the link to all School of Psychology contacts (you might want to look at this): process=siw_ipp_enq&code1=enq_gen&code2=&code4=ipr_ipp5=10

I really hope this helps and best of luck with getting into the course!

Hi there we're so happy to hear that you may be joining us in September!
As for the music scene in Canterbury, we are very lucky where we are, a lot of pubs in town and the surrounding areas of the university host gigs for small local bands and are easy to contact if you were interested on doing some gigs there.
Our own sports bar Woodys also holds music nights for students to come and perform in front of a live audience!
At the University of Kent, we also have multiple societies for live music, metal, DJing and musical theatre etc.
If you are interested at looking for other live gigs, then we are close to music venues in Rochester, Margate and we also have great transport links to London.
I hope this helps,
Beth, UKC Rep

hey! Good luck! I applied for architecture at Kent in October and still haven’t heard back, I sent them an email a couple of days ago and they apologised and said they will look at my application urgently. If you’ve been waiting months like me, it might be worth emailing them to ask for any updates!! Good luck 😃😃

How long do you reckon I should wait before I email? I applied just over a month ago I think, I don't want to be impatient but I'm also dying to know if I got a place!

I applied in October so I was really worried as I hadn’t heard anything! There is no harm in sending an email asking for any updates, they might be able to give you some information! Good luck 😃
