When I went to school I developed an interest
in language, so studying the structure of
the English language and how it works in the
real world. Various teachers that I was taught
by, growing up in school, came here. I know
it’s very well respected for English, so
that’s why I chose it.
For part of my second year, one of the modules
is called Language in the Work Place. What
I’ll be doing is studying the communication
aspects of the workplace so that I can get
a deeper insight into how language actually
works, which gives me the chance to apply
the theories that I’ve learnt on my course
and see how they apply into the real world.
I think the University has definitely given
me more confidence because you get to interact
with a wide variety of people, hearing their
views on things and getting into a real debate
about linguistics and that kind of thing.
The lecturers are great, they’re really
supportive. They’ll give you all the advice
that you need and you can see them for any
help on assignments or whatever.
I want to study Forensic Speech Science after
my degree at Masters level and probably PHD
level as well which will lead to a career
in Forensic Speech Science, which will probably
involve working with the police or any other
kind of government agency in that forensic setting.
