University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC)

In regards to quality of courses, the course notes could have been more specific in where to get studying materials. Interaction with teachers are not as good as it could have been, since through my own experience, I could see that a lot of students spend more time trying to jot down notes than to understand what the lecturer is trying to teach. It would have been better if the required notes are already given so that students do not have to write anything down, where students could just listen to the lecture, which is not a word-by-word repetition of the notes, but a complementary way of understanding the notes fully. Most international students are very out-going and willing to interact, unfortunately most local students do seem to have an arrogance and aloofness when talking to us international students and, at times, not so friendly.

When doing team-work assignments, it is difficult to get all the teammates to act responsibly and willing to work hard. At times, there are certain teammates that would neglect to work hard, or sometimes not work at all. I believe sometimes teachers should monitor the progress of the group, not only as a team, but of each individual, to make sure everyone is cooperative and willing to contribute a certain amount of effort and time.

Adequate research was done before I went to this University, so I am satisfied and do not have further comments regarding this question.

It is very difficult to get into MBA or any other Master degree provided by Kent Business School. But it is worthwhile to try apply. If you are lucky enough to get into these courses under Kent Business School, you will not regret, because it has some of the best teachers in the UK teaching here at Kent Business School. I am not boasting about this, see if for yourself by visiting the Kent Business School website's staff list.

My accomodation was located in a student village, 10 mins from main campus, lots of opportunity to join social and academic life

The choice of courses over the academic year and a minimal bibliography for those. Travelling tips.

It's a very good place for studying international relations, teachers are well prepared, helpful and with good reputation. Good social clubs. University a little isolated as it is outside the city of Canterbury.

no, I found out everything all right there

a very international university,so ideal for you if you'd like to meet lots of students from differnt countries

This was the first time I lived on campus and it was a very nice experience by the chances it gives to know people, be close to the library, computers, teachers, etc.
