University of Kent
speciality: Anthropology

The University of Kent was great! We were able to participate in an archaeological dig and there were many events we could attend to meet people. In general it’s pretty good. The library is fantastic (also sandwiches). The sports facilities are great when not busy and the Studentenwerk works very hard for us! I found the content very interesting and engaging and the instructors try to make everything as interesting and memorable as possible. SAC offers many lectures, guest lectures and excursions which made the course even better. City life is fantastic, especially when it’s largely geared towards students – there are plenty of student parties, student shopping nights, and the like. It’s nice to be in a busy but safe place for students

The campus is nice and it’s near the town of Canterbury, which is a lovely place to live. The facilities on campus were great, especially the gym, although the library didn’t always have a subscription to the journal I needed. Some of the lecturers were really excellent, and the other students were motivated and passionate about what they were studying. However, it probably wasn’t the best place to do a PhD as research students on teaching scholarships were overloaded with teaching and had no time to do their own research.
