    A week in the life of a philosophy student

    Posted by guestblogger on February 10, 2020

    Monday Mondays usually involve an afternoon lecture. I spend my morning preparing for my week; this involves organising my schedule, writing up a to-do list and going over any essential reading for the topics ahead. After attending my lecture, I usually go home and try to finish off my lecture notes. I re-visit any slides … Continue reading A week in the life of a philosophy student

    A week in the life of an English and History student

    Posted by guestblogger on February 1, 2020

    I’m Becky, a third year English and History student. Welcome to a week in my life! Final year is pretty busy, so there is a lot to be done! Monday Reading day! Not the most fun, but necessary. Every week I have about 180 pages of reading to do for my History Special Subject module, … Continue reading A week in the life of an English and History student

    A week in the life of a Politics student

    Posted by guestblogger on January 30, 2020

    Monday I start off the week with a 9am political philosophy lecture. This is one of my favourite modules, but it’s always a struggle to wake up on time! After this lecture ends, I usually head to the library to complete the readings for my seminars.  After spending a few hours in the library, I … Continue reading A week in the life of a Politics student

    A week in the life of a third year English Literature student

    Posted by guestblogger on January 30, 2020

    The dreaded reading list: As a literature student there is a lot of reading (pretty obvious right?). But the key thing to remember is that the reading is not actually that much if you organise your time well. I’m going to show you how I organise my time during the week to ensure I get … Continue reading A week in the life of a third year English Literature student

    A day in the life of a History student

    Posted by guestblogger on January 22, 2020

    Hey! I’m a first year History undergrad, and this is what an average day looks like for me. Early morning Like many students, I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning to get ready for the day… After breakfast, I usually try to finish up some reading before I walk … Continue reading A day in the life of a History student

    A day in the life of an Archaeology student

    Posted by Amy on January 20, 2019

    Hi there! I’m Amy, I started a BA in Archaeology and Heritage in October and I’m loving it! The staff are so enthusiastic and happy to help, and my course-mates are lovely. There really is something for everyone on this course from the depths of the paleolithic right up to today: if you’re interested in … Continue reading A day in the life of an Archaeology student

    A Day in The Life of an English Student

    Posted by guestblogger on January 15, 2019

    Morning My morning usually starts between 6:30 and 7. Admittedly I’m naturally what my old head teacher referred to as ‘a frightening morning person’. I throw together some breakfast and look through my itinerary for the day: a seminar from 9-11 and a meeting with my supervisor at 12. The seminar notes I made yesterday … Continue reading A Day in The Life of an English Student

    A Day in the Life of an English and History Student

    Posted by George on January 12, 2019

    For joint honours students, there are two myths you will hear from your fellow students: you’re either doing double the work or you’re doing barely any of the work for two subjects. As a third year English and History student, I can promise you neither are true. Joint Honours degrees are both intertwined and well-balanced. … Continue reading A Day in the Life of an English and History Student

    A Day in the Life of a Psychology Student

    Posted by guestblogger on January 8, 2019

    Psychology is the perfect subject for me. My contact hours give my days some structure, making it a lot easier to plan around them. Generally speaking, I’ll have 15-20 contact hours a week. Although this fluctuates depending on the point in the term. It may sound like a lot in comparison to other courses, but … Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Psychology Student

    My five most-loved books from the reading lists

    Posted by guestblogger on May 15, 2018

    There’s no doubt that the English course at York allows you great flexibility and range when it comes to picking modules. Being more of a contemporary literature book hoarder myself, I chose modules focusing on 20th- and 21st- century literature, and had the most enjoyable time reading and researching the texts and period! Here’s a … Continue reading My five most-loved books from the reading lists
