Joel Pointon, BSc Economics student >>So Economics is a really interesting one because it's a subject which is constantly evolving and changing over time. You're looking at the data and you're seeing why different trends are happening. Economics brings answers in a variety of disciplines, and to many, many different questions and fields of studies, which makes it a very interesting thing to be studying. Dr Amanda Gosling, Senior Lecturer in Economics and Director of Studies for Stage 3 >>If you're interested in the world, interested in solving problems, thinking about what works and what doesn't work in terms of policy, then economics is the subject for you. Kitty Cullinan, BSc Economics with a Year in Industry >>When I was looking at a university to look for open days, Kent was really strong for economics, so I came to visit, really, really enjoyed the open day, got a friendly vibe. I just feel like it's very easy to do well because of the support around you and you're not left to your own devices. Jeni Martin, BSc Economics >>I really wanted to go to a campus university, I really like Canterbury and I like that the countryside is just the other side of the campus. Dr Luke Buchanan-Hodgman, Lecturer in Economics and Director of Undergraduate Admissions >>Kent's consistently rated outstanding in teaching, learning and outcomes for students. We have lots of different innovations in terms of teaching and learning in the School of Economics, so in first year we have lots of professional economics programmes, and as you move through the programme we have more quantitative work, specialise in financial markets and development, and in the School of Economics you can also undertake a dissertation which is a prolonged piece of research, and that's in the third year. Ee Wei Tan BSc Economics >>I chose Kent university because I like the campus life, I'm confident that Kent can bring me to an exciting journey. Karina Maheswaran BSc Economics with a Year in Industry, Placement at the Government Economic Service During university, we've built up on a lot of skills, such as doing presentations, working on big projects such as coursework, researching by myself, and all of this was really helpful when doing my placement, because I had to do a lot of independent projects, and then I often had to present it to a lot of other people. My placement was really fun, it was incredibly different to how I thought it would be. I honestly had no clue what it would be like, and working in policy at such an amazing time as this was incredible. Professor Alastair Bailey, Head of the School of Economics >>Education, particularly at undergraduate level, needs to be embracing across the whole discipline. I think it's really essential to build the community of economists, both staff, students at different levels of their study, so that they all feel that there's a common purpose. That they're studying something which they can achieve, because they see those ahead of them, and they can see where they're going, because they can see the fruits of their labours. Professor Iain Fraser, Director of Student Experience and Employability >>Almost 90% of our students are in a graduate position. Equally, something about approaching 25% of our students go on and do postgraduate study. They go on and go to the best universities both here and abroad to undertake MSc, MA, and then several will obviously then go on and do PhD. An economics degree will basically allow you, if you've got the wherewithal, to do any job you choose to do.
