I pursued a postgraduate course because I very much value my education and realize that in today’s day and age a Bachelors is not going to set you apart as much as a postgraduate degree will. I have a passion for education and I am always curious which is why I decided to continue my education and do my MSc at the University of Kent.

I chose to do my MSc in Social and Applied Psychology at the University of Kent for three reasons. First, because of the University of Kent’s reputation. Kent psychology is very well known globally and does a lot of research in the areas in which I am very interested in. Discrimination, prejudice, ingroups and outgroups, intergroup relations, group processes are just a few areas of expertise within the psychology department here at Kent. Second, the location. I am from the United States, specifically Wisconsin, and I previously studied in London during my undergraduate degree. I really love the UK and I really liked the fact that Canterbury is close to London by train but far enough away that the cost of living, the environment and fresh air are more manageable for me. I love the fact that I can travel by bus to Whitstable and be at the sea, or go to the cliffs of Dover that are so close to me. The location is a perfect mix of UK culture that I love and reminders of my more rural hometown Wisconsin. Third, the price. The University of Kent is a lot cheaper than some of the other universities I was looking at to do postgraduate study. When comparing the US to the UK, the UK was the cheaper option and on top of that the University of Kent allowed me to take out US loans to study in the UK which is an amazing opportunity. These reasons, on top of many more since, led me to the University of Kent.

The one major thing that this course is teaching me that my first degree did not, is real life application and more communication with people from different countries that speak different languages and are from different cultures. In my course I only have a few British classmates, everyone else is from outside of the UK and that is very awesome to experience in our seminar classes where analysing certain topics can vary a great deal based on ethnicity, nationality or other demographic information.
