Our students benefit from a rich and stimulating, intellectually challenging community where postgraduates work alongside staff. Academic schools hold regular events to provide a forum for students and staff to discuss their ongoing research activities, and schools also invite leaders in their field to give guest lectures. Postgraduate students are encouraged to take an active role in the academic community and develop their skills by presenting work at research seminars, participating in conferences and publishing papers. The Graduate School co-ordinates a range of activities to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and the development of research and transferable skills. www.kent.ac.uk 9 10 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016 www.kent.ac.uk 11 A GLOBAL OUTLOOK Kent has an excellent international reputation and our academic schools are engaged in collaborative research with universities from around the world. Many of Kent’s programmes have a strong international focus with some offering the opportunity to study for dual or joint awards with prestigious overseas partner institutions. Kent has exchange links with over 100 universities overseas, providing students with the opportunity for research and study abroad. Our global outlook is strengthened by our long-standing links with continental Europe. Known as ‘the UK’s European university’, we have specialist postgraduate centres in Brussels, Paris, Athens and Rome (see p244-249). The global range of the University’s activities helps to attract students from overseas. Last year, over half of our postgraduate students came from countries outside the UK. This contributes to the cosmopolitan atmosphere at Kent and provides the ideal environment for analysis of global issues. 12 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016 KENT: THE UK’S EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY The University prides with the École Normale Proximity to airports, the Channel itself on the leading role Supérieure, Paris, Philipps- ports and particularly the Eurostar it plays in the creation Universität Marburg, Ruprecht- terminals at Ashford and Ebbsfleet and dissemination of Karls-Universität, Heidelberg, means quick and easy access to Universiteit Gent, Uppsala Paris, Brussels and Lille, and from knowledge.

  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from le ft to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
