I keep hearing how English is a dangerous career path, yet my parents encourage me to do what I want. I have ro say I am extremely lucky to have a soft spot for poetic and thrilling books and a knack for weird and vivid imagination.....I am also grateful for my parents who dont know anything about literature yet support me. All that you mentioned here makes me realize that I am right in my choices.
Great video!! This was very helpful! I just have one doubt, I’ll post it here in case anyone could give me any advice. Does anyone know how likely it is to get accepted to halls? I saw from the website that it’s completely random (no first come first serve).. is that true? Now, my university entrance was deferred, so I basically got a place in Trinity College for sure for the coming September, but it seems like I won’t know if I got into halls until end of June even if I apply in Feb/March. I don’t know if I should risk it or go for a much more expensive private student accommodation. Any advice? Sorry for the long ramble, but the whole situation is a bit stressful haha
It's Sunday morning and I'm letting all these vlogs of students of Ivy League universities play in the background to motivate me to complete this deck. It's working... I think. I love the parts where you show yourself working in the libraries. I'm at my dining table but I can dream I'm in a library in Oxford lol.
Hi, I'm planning to apply to the Oxford 1900- Mst this month - do you have any advice on the application process, especially on writing a personal statement?

I'm going into leaving cert next year and this program looks amazing! I did quite well on my 5th year christmas exams, but a bit worse on my summer tests, they're not awful, but I know that I can recieve better results next year in my christmas exams and mocks. Would I be able to leave out my summer exams and submit my other results instead? Thanks for this video!!

Hey, It was really helpful to watch this as not much content is available on RU-vid regarding English Literature majors at Oxford. We would love to watch a video on English Major curriculum, course structure, the choices you're given and the books you're made to read. I am actually planning to apply for Masters in English Literature at oxford but am really confused about which mst to take up. Seriously speaking, my country's curriculum is way different. It's like just one course 'Masters in English literature' and you don't really have to choose what specific time period you would be studying.😅 So, I'm kinda finding it hard to choose one. Can you please guide me a little bit on that. Also, can we only make choices based on time period, can't we choose to read some specific genre, a particular author or a particular theme? Like, What I've discovered so far about my interests is that I'm most interested in philosophical and psychological aspect of English literature. So really can't decided what Mst would suit my interests best... It would be a great help if you could guide me on this....
Thanks so much! I'd love to make a more detailed video about it. Within each MSt, here are two compulsory courses that is based on your time period, but when you are choosing other classes (you get one choice class in the first term and another in the second term) you can branch out from your time period. Choice classes can be competitive so you may not be given priority for a class that is outside your period, but it is possible to apply for it. My best advice for choosing a period of time is not necessarily what era of literature you like to read the most, but what era you like to study the most (for me, I like to both read and study modern and contemporary literature). Hope this was helpful!
@@QueenofQuirk Thank you so much for replying and for explaining it so well. Would live to connect with you on LinkedIn. Could you please please tell how to reach out to you on LinkedIn?

Yeah mate, that’s just literally a posh Irish accent. American accents also vary heavily, and there’s lots of Irish influence on the East Coast so it’s not like she’s speaking a different language lol.
