Uni of kent

can a student in uni of kent explain how it’s like studying there? how many times a week do u go to a lecture and how long usually does it last? what is the workload like?

Hey!

I did both my undergrad and masters at Kent (Psychology) so hopefully can give you some insight! This will really depend on your course to be honest, but this is a general overview:
- For every module, you will generally have both a lecture and a seminar/workshop once a week
- Lectures and seminars are normally an hour each, but sometimes you might have a 2 hour lecture or 2 hour seminar, depending on the module
- So depending how many modules you have in each term (normally around 5 or 6 I think?), this means you'll generally have to go in for 5 lectures and 5 seminars
- This means you most likely won't be in every day of every week, because sometimes you'll have multiple modules in one day

For me, I've found most years I've ended up being at uni 3 or 4 days of the week, generally with something in the morning and afternoon.

In terms of workload, I can only speak for Psychology, but you generally have some form of coursework due at the end of each term (so in December and April) and normally have exams in January and May/June. I personally found the workload pretty managable as long as you keep on top of everything, as you normally have 4 weeks to complete an assessment, so even if you have multiple on the go at once you mostly have plenty of time. Sometimes seminars will help with assignments as well or give you time to work on them.

Hope this answers your question and if there's anything more I can help with, let me know!

Thank you so much for responding! Would you perhaps know what the lectures and seminars look for law? Would you have to go in everyday?
