If you wish to take modules within a new subject area, it is usually advisable to choose from the Stage 1 modules, which are at an introductory level. We also encourage students to select modules that form a coherent programme of study. Please bear in mind that your choices will need to be approved by the relevant academic school at Kent.
It is important that you choose your modules carefully, selecting topics that you are interested in and that are suitable for your level of academic knowledge.
Kent took part in the pilot project for the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), and the use of ECTS across the University was approved and implemented at the earliest opportunity.
ECTS, was developed by the Commission of the European Communities in order to provide common procedures to guarantee academic recognition of studies abroad. It provides a way of measuring and comparing learning achievements, and transferring them from one institution to another.
My time at Kent was a remarkable experience which will be very useful for my professional development.
