I had no problem whatsoever due to the fact that I had taken many courses in English at home. I had also done a translation course from greek into english and vice versa in the British council and also a translation course from english into french and vice versa in the university

Personal recommendation
It is a good, international university. Nevertheless, it is up to the individual to make the best out of it both academically and socially. For example, I strongly believe that the role of the university is not as important as the student's performance. I would prefer a Kent graduate with a first class degree rather than a LSE graduate with a third class degree. Simply because the firs one is disciplined and hard working and could do their best in any institution
