成人直播

鈥淚 have made life-long friends at 成人直播, expanded my interest in literature and the media and grown in confidence while simultaneously creating unforgettable memories. I chose Bournemouth for various reasons but the main thing that attracted me was the BA (Hons) English course.

鈥淚 remember attending the open day with my parents in 2018 when聽the聽English lecturer started his聽presentation with the memorable words: 鈥榠f you are looking for a traditional English course, then this is not the university for you. At Bournemouth, we prepare you for the real world by exploring modern communications and a range of texts.鈥� And he was right.

鈥淭he course is made up of the optimum blend of traditional and modern modules such as modernism and postmodernism to new media narratives enabling students to experience a variety of discourses and tailor their interests. I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years at Bournemouth and I am extremely sad to see it end. It will remain in my heart forever.鈥�

鈥淲hat I enjoyed most about the BA English course聽was probably the diversity of the content we studied as well as the freedom to explore a wide variety of texts. Things always felt fresh every semester as we were tackling completely different subjects that covered a significant proportion of both English literature and language.

鈥淚n聽addition,聽the option to select your own units every so often made sure the course was tailored to your own interests and whatever your career goals are. Whether it be writing an essay, creating a presentation, writing a short story or news article, editing a video or interactive narrative and everything聽in-between, I came out of the course with a really wide portfolio of unique work and experiences in several areas.

鈥淲hen taking on an essay we often had the ability to answer it with any kind of text, be it a book, film, TV show, game, music, or anything really.聽It kept things fresh and ensured that whatever assignment I had going was relevant to me personally at the time. Of course, all the lecturers were really supportive throughout the course and ensured the content we were studying remained as engaging as it was educational.聽聽

鈥淎nother really important aspect of my degree was the compulsory work placement which at the time the BU English course was the only one I knew of that ensured you would achieve some work experience while you were there, whether it be a short month or an entire year. I was lucky enough to opt for the latter and it was genuinely life-changing. I managed to make the most out of that experience and it has been a significant boost in my career as I managed to find a job right after graduating. So if I hadn鈥檛 taken this course, I wouldn鈥檛 have gained that really crucial industry experience, so I would have missed out on a vital opportunity to increase my employability which really does make a聽difference these days.

鈥淥verall I really appreciated that the BA English course聽allowed me to tailor my experience to my interests and provided me with a wide variety of subjects that kept me interested, engaged and聽feeling like I really tackled a satisfying programme. So for any future students interested in an English degree, I would definitely recommend the course at 成人直播 if you鈥檇 like to take on something that is both challenging and enjoyable. If you have a passion for English and want to meet some amazing lecturers, value having choice and variety, want a degree that encourages your employability and overall just ensuring you have a great time whilst doing so, I鈥檇 say this is definitely the one for you.鈥�

鈥淭he course was both challenging and nerve-wracking and at times I questioned my abilities.聽However聽I wouldn鈥檛 change my experience for the world. Everything I learnt somehow coincided with each other and was especially helpful when I was both writing my dissertation (especially Narrative Structures and Children鈥檚 Literature), and realising what I should do with my life after聽uni.聽

鈥淭he support, guidance, and advice I received from my lecturers who were quick and very considerate with their responses to me really resolved for me that the BA English course at 成人直播 was exactly where I was supposed to be.聽

鈥淲hat I cherish the most about my time in Bournemouth is the beach. That beautiful beautiful beach, how I鈥檒l miss it. I鈥檇 never lived by the sea before. I鈥檓 glad I got the chance to do so by studying in Bournemouth. Taking walks on the beach with my friends 鈥� day and night 鈥� was definitely my favourite to do. I鈥檒l miss those beach walks the most.鈥�

鈥淲hat originally drew me to 成人直播鈥檚 English course was the wide variety of units and topics that seemed to be offered within the聽worlds聽of literature, language and the media and I was not disappointed when I joined the course. I didn鈥檛 just want a literature degree, I wanted exactly what 成人直播 offered and every unit surpassed my expectations.

鈥淓very year the English team bought something new to the table, always providing something exciting to learn about and whilst assignments aren鈥檛 the most enjoyable part of the course, lecturers always gave plenty of opportunity to showcase different types of academic and creative skills.

鈥淏U鈥檚 BA English course changed my life in many ways, but one of the biggest was the encouragement given to pursue a聽yearlong聽sandwich placement. This placement gave me much-needed experience in a professional working environment and even allowed me to land a graduate job just a week after completing my dissertation. The placement opportunity was yet another reason for picking BU and I truly believe that if the university didn鈥檛 encourage this, I wouldn鈥檛 have had the skills ready for the world of postgraduate job hunting.

鈥淚鈥檝e made many wonderful memories throughout the course and a lot of them I do have the lecturers to thank for. Lecturers become a constant in your life throughout your 3 or 4 years and it鈥檚 so comforting to know that you have these people who actually become more like friends聽to turn to in confidence. I truly believe that had I gone to any other university my life would look completely different to what it is now and I鈥檓 forever grateful for the opportunities that 成人直播 gave me to grow as a person and as an academic.鈥�

鈥淚 really enjoyed my time studying BA English at 成人直播, especially the lecturers, they really made the content engaging and they really went the extra mile especially during the pandemic when the learning was remote. The content and texts that we covered were all really exciting and engaging and I liked how pretty much anything can be considered a text, so we looked at things from adverts to classic books, video games and you do really have a lot of freedom in this course which you don鈥檛 have in a lot of other English courses.

鈥淎s well as this, I really liked the group work because it introduced me to my course mates who I鈥檓 still friends with now. I鈥檇 really recommend studying BA English at 成人直播 because it鈥檚 a great course, with great lecturers and great content.鈥�

鈥淚 enjoyed English and literature all my life but it wasn鈥檛 until I got the opportunity to explore the complexities and depth that I really felt inspired by this subject.

鈥淏U offers such an extensive range of units that both establish the skills necessary to access English but simultaneously allow for the exploration into social issues, literary histories and English-related debates. Your opinion is welcomed and valued in the lecture hall and disagreement is seen as an expression of liberty rather than a challenge to the lecturer.

鈥淭he lecturers are happy to debate and have their minds changed and this understanding that they are not positioned as the infallible source of knowledge makes the experience so enjoyable. The lecturers see their roles as guides, sounding boards, sign posters because they truly value what English stands for at its core. And that is subjectivity and exploration. BU cultivates that exploration and subjectivity I already had and helped me refine and develop it.

鈥淚 will never forget my time at 成人直播 and I owe the passion that I teach English with today, to the lecturers whose units and enthusiasm inspired me.鈥�

"I choose to study at 成人直播 as I wanted to balance my job role, relationships, and further educational studying. As I live only half an hour away from the University, and know the area incredibly well, it was the ideal place to study. The variety of topics the English degree covers, from traditional literature study right through to modern marketing and sales techniques, allowed me to develop a wide variety of industry-relevant skills."

"It was truly a pleasure to study in such a supportive and understanding environment. In my final year, I struggled to progress with my dissertation, but the support offered through the academic advisor system allowed me to continue to progress and balance my mental well-being with my studies."

"I would thoroughly recommend 成人直播 and the English degree to prospective students. Approach the course with open-minded enthusiasm and dedication and you will thrive. Build good relationships with your course mates, the support will be invaluable. I am so fortunate to have made life-long friends, and soon-to-be future housemates with my friends from my time at Bournemouth."

鈥淢y time at 成人直播 was transformative for me as a student and a person. Eight聽years after graduating, I鈥檓 a copywriter living in Madrid, Spain, and I wouldn鈥檛 be here were it not for the support and lessons learned from my lecturers.

鈥淚 was congratulated for producing good work, challenged to improve when I fell short, and got an almost daily dose of fascination in lectures and workshops.

鈥淐hildren鈥檚 Literature and Gender & Sexuality in particular were fun and engaging units that sparked some fierce debate in workshops.

鈥淗owever, the BA English course really comes to life in its final year, with some units in particular deserving of a mention. Writing, Editing & Publishing, which focused on how to write great fiction that gets published. Crime & Terror, a creative and analytical look at the literary history of murder most foul. Fact & Fiction, a journalism unit dedicated to the art of creative non-fiction. This one is a must-have for all aspiring writers applying to BU.

鈥淥utside of the classroom, one of the standouts for me was the great level of pastoral care I received from the faculty, who were incredibly supportive in handling my complicated health issues. It really helped me stay on track, especially during some challenging episodes. I鈥檓 still in touch with some of my lecturers, one of whom told me to keep writing until I got paid for it. Turns out he was right! The course has only grown in popularity and quality since my time, and I highly recommend BA English, and BU as a whole, to any prospective student.鈥�
