Course Curriculum

8

  • As I was doing a PhD, I had not fixed a syllabus or classes.

Admission Experience

  • Overall experience was really good. The reason I chose the university was that it allowed me to do a PhD in the area/topic of my interest, and secondly, it provided a scholarship and TA ship. The admission process was lengthy, but guidance and support were provided.

Faculty

8

  • I do not have an accurate idea on faculty and staff ratio. I found the faculty and staff very approachable.

Campus Life

8

  • Very good to Excellent. They have two campuses - Canterbury and Medway. There is an on-campus club, a theatre and cinema venue, a large library, a gym, a badminton court, a football ground, multiple research labs, and more.

Part Time Jobs

  • There were numerous on-campus and off-campus work opportunities available. We could work for up to 20 hours every week. I had TA and RA positions. Others used to work in the stores of restaurants.

Placement

6

  • Difficult to answer, but most of my fellow PhD researchers have continued to work in the UK.

Accommodation

  • I found the accommodation through an online platform. I rented an independent 1BHK for which I used to pay 700GBP. I used to pay another 300GBP for electricity, water, internet, etc.

Exams

  • There was no such requirement for me as I was applying for PhD
  • I did have to submit a Statement of Purpose, CV, Portfolio of work, Sample of previous writing.
