What do scholars have to say?

‘Kent’s programme was different to the others I found, with modules on areas such as poverty, health, and social justice, which really appealed to me. When I secured the scholarship, I looked at Kent’s location and was pleased to see that it was near London. I know all of the other Chevening scholars; we are like a family. We’ve really bonded, and the group expands as people bring in their classmates. International students are a very diverse group and there are opportunities to network’ – Lebani Mazhani, Master’s in Medical Law and Ethics.

‘I chose the University of Kent because I saw and felt the effort made to ensure my experience was pleasant. I had the opportunity to choose three different universities in the UK to pursue my studies, but I went all the way with Kent instead. I knew this journey would be hard so I needed to be in a place that would care about me, especially during troubling times. That place is and continues to be Kent’ – Lisa Hussain – Fintech MSc.

‘I chose the University of Kent because it is one of a few universities that offer an MSc in Conservation Project Management and specific modules for conservation leaders and the DICE MSc is the best as it covers both natural and social sciences. Most importantly the University of Kent is research-oriented and I knew that I was going to gain important skills for my career’ – Kelvin Floyd, Conservation Project Management.
