  • The School of History at the University of Kent is recognized as one of the leading History

  • departments in the country. Based in the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, Undergraduate

  • students study flexible programs in History and War Studies and a variety of Joint Honours

  • combinations.

  • Based on a modular structure students can shape their degree programme entirely around

  • their own interests.

  • Hi, I'm Emily Dennis I was a history undergraduate at Kent and now I am a Masters research student.

  • I studied a wide range of modules really, from medieval right up to modern history.

  • I've gradually tailored my choice of modules over the three years I've been here so I

  • started off with a very broad scatter-gun approach where I basically picked a bit of

  • everything just to see what appealed most

  • First of all we have a range of modules on offer in both the first, second and third

  • years which very few universities can match, and secondly I think it's not just that diversity

  • of courses that we that we pride ourselves in but I think it's a flexibility of the programme;

  • it can be a broad-brush approach or it can be a highly specialized approach. We have

  • that flexibility.

  • Undergraduate students get to study alongside world-class academics who teach on subjects

  • directly related to their ongoing research students will always learn the very latest

  • from the very best.

  • My teaching feeds into my research I get a lot of my ideas from students and our discussions

  • in class. Also after I've been on a research trip I like to bring materials back and integrate

  • them into my teaching. At Kent we're very careful in our consideration of class sizes:

  • we want a large enough group to encourage a dynamic conversation

  • but in the environment which allows everybody feel comfortable and able to speak.

  • The lectures give a really good broad overview of the subject we're studying that week,

  • whereas the seminars are really more personal and get into much more detail about the subject

  • and we can have open discussions and hear other people's ideas.

  • The staff-student relationship is very good. We're on first-name terms with the professors,

  • we can approach them at any time.

  • They really break down the barrier between staff and student and are really one-on-one

  • with you they're very friendly and accessible and you can talk to them about anything.

  • The University of Kent's Canterbury campus is set in three hundred acres of green and

  • leafy parkland and is only a short walk away from the city centre. Home to students from

  • over 120 countries it is an exciting and vibrant place to study.

  • Campus life is a real community. I think the campus itself creates a student community

  • that is really nice, from the sports clubs, the societies which offer such a broad range

  • of interests you can pick up something completely new, that you've never done before. It's

  • a nice way to meet people and have a little bit extra to do outside of your studies.

  • My times out on campus have been some of my most memorable experiences. The Venue is a

  • great club and the bars and restaurants on campus are really, really good.

  • There's loads of places to go and socialise, to meet people and I think that social environment

  • creates a really nice experience at Kent.

  • The facilities on campus are really good, they're very accessible. The Library is

  • fantastic, it has such a broad range of texts with the core-text collection

  • specially suited for each subject. Also, the School of History has been brilliant in helping

  • me to find material I need.

  • In terms of student support we pride ourselves in what we actually offer students. Not only

  • do we offer individual tutors we also have a fantastic student liaison officer in Dr

  • Emma Long.

  • For Undergraduate students specifically we have the study skills sessions that run throughout

  • term so normally we start off with something to do with essay-writing and seminars and

  • run all the way through the year right up to exam preparation.

  • What brought me to Canterbury in the first place was the beauty of the campus and that

  • I felt really at home in the city with its architecture and its history.

  • It's a fantastic place to be. On the open day I realised that this is where I wanted

  • to be: fantastic surroundings, excellent course. It is both broad in the history you're studying

  • and in the geography as well.

  • From American history to lots of European history, I have settled in 18th century British

  • history and its something I'd never done before I came to Kent and that I never really

  • knew much about at all. Its nice to get the broad range of history and to try stuff that

  • you haven't studied before.
