" Having a Kent MSc gave me a head start in the jobs market. Interviewers seemed especially interested in my experience of group work as a team member and as a team leader. I had several interesting offers from, among others, Telecoms and Consulting companies, and was able to choose the one that seemed to offer the best prospects for the future. "
