Eleanor Webb
Stage 2 Mathematics and Statistics Student
I choose to come to Kent because when I was looking at the Unis I was also looking at sort of the accommodation and the area it’s in. Those are things that really appeal to me and other than that when I actually visited the Maths building I found it a really relaxed environment and somewhere I could actually imagine being every day.

Stage 3 Financial Mathematics Student
For me personally I think it’s the perfect balance of academia and sociability. So you come here, you know you’re going to receive good lecturing but at the same time Kent has a lot of societies, a lot of nightclubs, so you’ll learn but you’ll also have fun.
Brendan Hanrath
Stage 3 Actuarial Science Student
It’s got bars, it’s got cafés, everything you’d want. Societies, football, rugby. Canterbury is a stunning little city. It’s got cobbled streets and the cathedral, little shops everywhere. There’s not a whole lot of universities that do the accredited actuarial science course in England and Kent is one of the best of those universities. This has really helped me learn a whole lot more about stuff like Economics and computing we do a bit of, and corporate finance, a bit of accounting, and then we do some modelling.

Next term I’ll be doing Stats for Insurance which is something I’m really looking forward to learning. It’s really nice the fact that we can choose some of our subjects this year. It’s quite nice I am still able to get a part-time job and still able to have time to myself.
