University of Kent (reviews)

The chemistry degree is just a total waste of time and money , since 2020 many of the good lecturers have left which means that the bad ones remain. In every university you get bad teachers which is a given,but when the department is already small the bad ones remain.. a perfect example of this is the lack of effort what people need to understand that the chemistry department has zero money all the funding comes from teaching which is is at a loss so your only choice is to share modules with Forensic science students which has lots of money just to keep chemistry department a float. I have left Kent two years now not used a single bit of what I was taught… and many others have also experienced this.

You should be aware that Kent teaches you so little it like a trap and to be honest I have met few people who have simply not prepared for working with other departments because they lack the skills due to bad training.

I mean when your O-chem lecturers are just SS of a book what dose that tell you about the people who work there 🤔 just don’t care ! I really don’t see why anyone would ever go to Kent when there are so many other university that offer so much more.

I mean I learned more from lecturer notes from my colleagues from different universities than the ones from my department! The courses are terrible with very little room for learning what you want to as they are all compulsory. STAY AWAY.

I love it here. The campus is lively and beautiful, people are really nice, and everything is fun here as well! Professors are kind and respectful; lecture halls are beautiful and have a good environment to focus in.

I’ve enjoyed my experience at the University of Kent so far. The campus is really nice and peaceful, and there’s a good balance between academics and student life. Most of my lecturers have been super supportive , there are also lots of opportunities to get involved in societies, events and different projects outside class.

When I was here studying for my Masters, the support was great, the teaching level very high and engaging. The professors were very adept and good at guiding us the right way. The resources were good too.
