done the year in industry and youget used to working your set times,you can take that through to yourfinal year. I can get everythingdone during the day and thenin the evening I’m free.

But the biggest thing for me wasimproving my technical skills. I nowknow how to apply them in real lifeand feel much more technicallycomfortable.

Would you recommend doinga year in industry? Yes, it ties up everything you'velearnt from the first and secondyear and shows you how to applyit. Using what you’ve learnedat university in a work settinghelps that knowledge stick inyour mind and it makes thirdyear a lot easier as well.

What are your plans forwhen you graduate?I’d still like to go down the route ofweb development for now. If a fewyears down the line I change mymind, then thanks to my degreeI can still switch to a differentcareer path.

What advice would you givesomeone considering applying?Don’t be too concerned if you’venever programmed before, I hadn’tbefore I came here. This coursestarts from the ground up andtries to get everyone on a levelplaying field.

Rosie Watson is in thefinal year of her ComputerScience degree, whichincluded a year inindustry.

Why did you chose tostudy your programme?I have a mathematical backgroundbut didn't feel that a puremathematics degree was for me.I enjoy the logical side of things,and with computing you can uselogic to solve real-life problems.

What was it about theprogramme at Kent thatappealed to you?I enjoy the fact that everythingis focused around learning fromreal life. There's a lot of focuson placements, and on applyingyour skills.

What have been the highlightsof your programme so far?I've enjoyed the wide range ofmodules, especially in the finalyear because we got to pick ourown. I’ve picked a wide range ofmodules, from creative ones about3D modelling to more technicalones about the Internet of Things.

Can you describe a pieceof work you’ve particularlyenjoyed?I took a law and ethics module thisyear where I was given the topic ofself-driving cars and I had to writea Wikipedia entry on it. I reallyenjoyed doing all my own reading,formulating my own opinionsand piecing it all together.

This year, I’m also doing Kent ITConsultancy (KITC), which is afinal-year module. You work withtwo to four clients over the yearand the projects vary from astart-up website to automatedtesting or even helping the clientdigitalise something that they'realready doing. It gives you usefulexperience of working with clientsand being a project manager.

Where did you spend youryear in industry? I spent it at a small company calledHoliday Extras. I was hired as afull-stack web developer. I workedon their websites; they have onemain website and loads of otherlittle ones. During my year, I got togo through various different teamsand experience different sides ofthe website, from data to UI.

It was a well-structured placementthat allowed me to grow bothmy technical and soft skills. Itwas perfect.

Which of the projects that youdid there do you feel particularlyproud of?We had a brand on a really oldlegacy system that the companywanted to quickly move to the newsystem. They put me together withanother engineer and we completedthe project way before the deadline.It looked really good.

How did you change duringyour year in industry? My organisational skills improved.I’ve always considered myself quiteorganised. But actually, once you've

I work with VMware’s top GlobalAccounts (mostly Fortune 500organisations), helping them deliverthe workplace tools that enable youto work from anywhere, easily butalso securely. I spend a lot of timetravelling to customers in NorthernEurope, meeting with executivesand running technical pre-salesprojects.

How did your time at Kent helpyour career progression?Only a few months aftergraduating, I had a conversationwith a very experienced networkingprofessional, and I was able tounderstand the concepts andprovide an opinion. I have alsobeen able to progress into arole where most of my colleaguesare 10-20 years or more into theircareers and perform to the samelevels. Kent helped me jumpstartmy career and got me to whereI am today.

What are your career plans?I’ve held roles at three organisationssince graduating, including an ITmanagement position. I’ve nowbeen at VMware for three-and-a-halfyears. In that time I’ve held threedifferent roles, each giving mean increased exposure to biggerand bigger customers.

What skills and knowledge didyou gain during the year?The most important skill I learnedwas how to be an employee. Kentgave me the ability to be a greattechnologist, so I had that covered.The placement helped me growmy interpersonal skills, engagewith people and communicatesuccessfully – the bedrock of asuccessful career.

How did doing a placement helpyou in your final year?Having started work at 7:30am andoften worked through to the earlyevening, coming back to Universitywas a breeze! My teamwork skillsimproved and it boosted myconfidence. I knew that I had thetools to approach any new roleand demonstrate that I would be avaluable asset to any organisation.
