By the time I got to York, it had been two years since I completed my undergraduate degree. I\u2019d come from a different university, taken some time out, and was now absolutely desperate to get back into academia and start chasing my dream of research once again.<\/p>\n

The names<\/h5>\n

\u201cLongobardi\u201d, \u201cTsoulas\u201d, \u201cYeo\u201d – These were names I\u2019d read in journals, authors of papers I\u2019d cited<\/b> in my undergraduate dissertation. I was mortified that the \u201cRichard\u201d I\u2019d been casually joking about ice skating with after a talk was Richard Ogden.\u00a0The person who had actually written my entire undergraduate phonetics textbook.<\/p>\n

But, like, mortified in a good way? You get it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the thing, though. I finally had faces to put to names I\u2019d been reading and looking up to for years. In one of my first syntax seminars, I made an offhand comment about a linguist (not a York linguist, mind you) only to be met with a \u201cYeah, I asked him about that once.\u201d followed by the looming realisation of, \u201cWait, you actually know these people.\u201d Once the embarrassment has passed, it\u2019s really cool.<\/p>\n

Studying at York<\/h5>\n

Studying here, surrounded by all these inspiring people, who guide you through your studies and towards research of your own, being personally involved with projects and sharing ideas that can be genuinely discussed with these behemoths of the field. It feels like you\u2019re on the edge of something really, truly great.<\/p>\n

Of course, it can also be quite intimidating. I\u2019ve been stretched, challenged, and sometimes left feeling frustrated, or like I can\u2019t keep up. But the support I\u2019ve had, whether it\u2019s in breaking down how to actually go about doing my Master\u2019s thesis – transforming it from this impossible task to something that is doable, and exciting, and fun – or emotional reassurance that, \u201cNo, Mim. It\u2019s week four, you\u2019re not behind.\u201d, or genuine and practical advice on how to mitigate those feelings, I feel that this is a department that not only does great research, but understands the insecurities and difficulties that come with it, especially when you\u2019re starting out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve received so much support and encouragement from everyone, fellow students, staff, and supervisors, even visiting speakers, in pursuing areas that interest me, and discussing my takes on theories or my own areas of interest.<\/p>\n

\"Phonology
Phonology books lined up in the Morrell Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Enthusiastic staff<\/h5>\n

That\u2019s another thing, lecturers and professors always seem to be looking to engage with students on fun ideas. I once brought up something I thought might be an oversight in a professor\u2019s theory, and, after some back and forth discussion (and a lot of furrowed eyebrows) I felt that, not only had I made a good point, and been validated in it, but that I had a really fun and interesting essay to write, or maybe even publish. That professor in particular has been very enthusiastic about encouraging students to pursue publication, and it has made something that was once a pipedream for me so tangible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that the Department of Language and Linguistic Science<\/a> at York has great researchers. It isn\u2019t just high impact scores and very good REF ratings (although, those are definitely <\/b>a huge plus). It\u2019s that you\u2019re a part of it, and, in my opinion, everyone wants you to be part of it. There\u2019s a competitive, collaborative spirit that makes the whole department feel so alive, exhilarating, and perfect.<\/p>\n

It is still weird, almost six months from joining, that I can now say I know these people who were once admired names on oft-cited pages, that I have studied under them, that I have joked and celebrated and chatted with them. I\u2019m not sure it ever won\u2019t be. But, being so immersed in research, feeling passion and curiosity<\/b> for this subject that I so deeply love is invaluable as someone who has wanted to pursue research since the age of twelve (although the subject did change a couple of times).<\/p>\n

Overall<\/h5>\n

So, what is<\/b> it like to study in such a highly rated research department? To me, it\u2019s intimidating, exhilarating and inspiring. It\u2019s a heated debate with a respected teacher and an in-joke about a paper with a course-mate. It\u2019s a run where those cheering you on give you the strength to sprint at the finish. A thread that pulls you towards the future – both of linguistics, and your own.<\/p>\n

I did not do my undergraduate at York, but I\u2019m so, so glad I\u2019m doing my Masters here. No one does linguistics quite like York. Read more language and linguistic science blogs here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey folks! I\u2019m Mim, I\u2019m studying MSc Linguistics at the University of York. One of the things that really sets York apart from other universities is the quality of the research that comes out of the linguistics department. In my blog I gush a lot about how what it feel like to be a part of that. I talk about some of the best bits, a few of the challenges, and share a couple of anecdotes along the way. I\u2019ve wanted to be a researcher for a very long time, and I\u2019m so glad I chose to take my next step towards that at York.
