What is the accommodation oncampus like?I lived in Park Wood in my firstyear and liked the communal feel.Sharing a house is a great wayof breaking the ice and meetingpeople. The facilities were goodtoo – everything is kept in goodcondition. I liked the way that livingin Park Wood meant that you werestill on campus but not right in themiddle of things. It was a nice walkin to lectures and so on.

And what about the facilitieson campus?I’m often in the library and thelibrary café and it’s very student-friendly. It does sometimes get busybut it’s very convenient to studythere and sometimes you need thatserious atmosphere to help yousettle down to work. The sportshall is great – I played badmintonseveral times a week in my first year;and Venue, the bar and nightclub,is very good – you feel safe there.There are always shows on at theGulbenkian – although I don’t seemto have time to catch them!

Any advice for studentscoming to Kent?Make the most of it – it goes sofast. Join societies and have agreat social life, but don’t losefocus on your degree. Also, lookout for part-time jobs and otherextra-curricular activities that makeyou stand out from the crowd whenyou’re applying for jobs.

Christina Sriramula isin the final year of herdegree in Criminology.

Why did you choose to study at Kent?I’d done my research and Kenthad good rankings for academicsuccess and employment. Thelocation is also great – I’m fromLondon and it’s not too near butnot too far either. So I came toan Open Day and found both thestudents and the staff very helpfuland informative. I also loved thecampus – it’s beautiful. With someuniversities you find buildingsscattered all around a city buthere everything is really convenient.

How is the course going?It’s great – I don’t want it to end! I did Law at A level but didn’t wantto study it as a degree; I enjoy TVdocumentaries on criminologyand thought the subject would bereally engaging. I really enjoyed thecore modules in the second year,especially Criminal Justice inModern Britain. We studiedcontemporary problems, crimeprevention, and observed a casein court. Then we had to write areport on the case and I liked thisbecause it made a change fromwriting essays; it involved reflectiverather than critical thinking. Andit was fascinating to see the courtin action.

What’s the teaching like?You can tell by the way they delivertheir lectures that all the staff arepassionate about their subjects.

They never just read informationoff slides; instead they weave inmodern-day examples that helpyou to understand things better;it emphasises the relevance andreally brings the subject alive.The seminar leaders are helpful too,leading discussions which ofteninvolve recent news items, givingreading suggestions and so on.If you have any queries or needhelp with something, everyoneresponds to emails quickly.

How would you describe yourfellow students?I’ve made great friends on mycourse and we support each otherwith our studies – emailing backand forth when we get stuck onsomething. And we socialisetogether too, so that’s lovely.

What career do you hope tofollow when you graduate?Eventually I’d like to work inthe justice system, as a policeinvestigator or a solicitor’s assistant.But at the moment I’m applying forgraduate schemes and hope to geta job in the City of London. I’veworked part-time in the University’sown Careers Advisory Service andwas invited to join the Work-StudyScheme which helps you to findjobs on campus. I’m now workingas a Student Research ExperienceAssistant, helping to compile theUniversity’s employability statistics.This means I’m getting adminexperience and improving mycommunication skills. I think allthese things help you to lookmore attractive to employers.

Claire HuntLaw and Criminology graduate

Through writing loads of essays,my communication and writingskills have developed too; you geta great deal of help with your writing– laying out an argument clearly,expanding your thoughts and so on.

What are your future plans?I would really like to stay in theCivil Service. I’m very interestedin criminal justice and would liketo work in that area or somethingclosely related to it. I think the CivilService is the best place to be ifyou’re interested in forming policy.

What advice would you giveto someone thinking of comingto Kent?It’s such an amazing experiencestudying at Kent: it will change youif you open yourself up to it andmake the most of what’s there.For instance, one day I saw a posterfor a charity trip to China and I justthought, ‘Why not?’ So I sent off anemail and got a place on the tripand it opened up a whole world tome. Just grab every opportunityoffered.

Rosie Melville graduatedin Criminology and SocialPolicy and is now on theCivil Service Fast Streamgraduate programme.

Why did you choose to studyat Kent?I’m particularly interested in socialinequality and social immobility;why people turn to crime and howyou can help them. There aren’tmany universities that offer thecombination of subjects I studied.Also, Kent is such a respecteduniversity. I loved the variety ofmodules offered, and the flexibilitythe optional subjects offered toyou, and the academics have reallygood reputations, so it was theobvious choice.

How would you describe theteaching at Kent?It was the best. I felt that everylecturer really cared about you.For instance, if you had a questionafter a lecture you could go andsee them and they’d talk with youfor as long as it took to make sureeverything was clear in your mind.

I particularly remember an occasionin the third year, getting an essaymark I wasn’t happy with and goingto talk about it. In a really nice andconstructive way they explainedexactly how I had gone wrong andhow it could be fixed – they reallywant you to learn and to do well.

I also thought you were treated asan adult and the teaching was verycollaborative – they were alwayshappy to hear your views. The wholeatmosphere was very nurturing –not just because of the academics’attitude, but the student union andthe other University services too;I felt very supported.

What have you done sinceleaving Kent?Immediately after I graduated Ihad a short internship with the CivilService, then I went on to study fora Master’s in Criminal Justice Policyat the London School of Economics.

Now I’m on the Fast Streamprogramme, where you have twogovernment placements and onenon-government placement. I’veworked in the Department ofWork and Pensions, then theDepartment for Communities andLocal Government, and now I’m onsecondment with Hackney Council.I’m getting a really good chance toexperience all the different aspectsof Civil Service life.

How do the skills you gainedat Kent help in your presentposition?You grow a lot at university and inparticular, I learnt to be analytical.I’m naturally fairly sceptical aboutthings and I’ve learnt how to lookfor bias and be able to dissectinformation.
