Lectures and Seminars A typical day for me will either consist of a lecture or a seminar. … Continue reading A day in the life of a 3rd Year Philosophy Student

And you’re in seminar groups of around 15 students. This means you get a lot of speaking practice which is really beneficial. … Continue reading A Week in the Life of a Languages Student
