I'll go first and share a few of mine!😊

•

I studied Psychology, Sociology, and Criminology at A-Level🔍️

•

I visited Medway Campus for their open day as my undergraduate degree was based there. I loved the open day as it gave me a feel for what studying at Kent would be like!😊

•

I studied BSc Social Science at Kent and achieved a first🎓️

•

I am now studying a Masters in Research Methods at Kent, but at Canterbury Campus. Again I visited the campus at the open day and I am looking forward to exploring a new campus this year😊

•

As for career aspirations, I love research and finding out new things! I am interested in research around place wellbeing and mental health😊

Hey everyone!

How are you all feeling? Is anyone applying for any courses with an early deadline (October 15th)? It’s a week to go, so just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling 😄

If you need some help with your personal statement, we have a whole forum dedicated to your questions (just don't post any part of your statement!), and some example statements in our PS library.

What are your main questions?

If you're not applying early, have you started looking around at booking any open days yet? If so, how are they going? Have you visited Kent yet?

Good luck everyone :woo:
