I followed you because of the first video in this series. It was so helpful for me. This is a great year

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Awww I love that!! Thank you so much for subscribing to me and watching my videos, it means so much! 💜💜

@Emily-ci8dg 3 года назад

loved this vid! currently in first year and am really enjoying the course so far! :)

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Aww I’m so glad you liked the video, thank you for watching!! And I hope you continue to enjoy your course and uni! 💜

Aw makes me miss uni so much 😍😭 love to hear your experience, I've only ever driven through Bristol, never seen the city or uni campus properly. Sounds great and the course sounds amazing too

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I’m going to miss it so much when I graduate 😭 You should visit Bristol at some point then! I’m sure you’d love it (once the restrictions have eased😂) Thank you so much for watching!! 💜💜

just got an offer from Bristol for English and Spanish so thanks for this video! I've also applied for Queen's :)) Also, Fearless in the background... subscribed!! x

This video was great! I'm low key very jealous that you're enjoying your undergrad experience, you definitely sound so passionate about what you're studying

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Hahaha Im glad you enjoyed!! I’m definitely so happy that I enjoy my degree etc, but I do love English so much💜

Love your new intro😍 (and your jacket). This video is so interesting! On the one hand I wish I’d studied English Lit but hearing about the work load I’m kind of glad that I didn’t😅

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Aww thank you so much!! 🥰 hehe I actually love that fluffy jacket sm it is so cosy I wear it all the time😂 Ahahah i get you!! It’s more about the amount of work rather than how hard it is I guess and then some degrees like are more difficult if that makes sense idk😂😂

thank you so much for making this video. i'm planning on firming bristol for English (joint English and German if they accept my course change) and i've been so lost on finding perspectives about the course. this video was really helpful in getting a feel for how bristol teaches English, and i'm really excited to see your other videos.

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I’m sooo glad to hear this helped!🥰 I hope everything goes well with your course change, and I’m so glad you are planning on choosing bristol! More videos in this series will be up ASAP💜 I hope to help before the new first years come!

I graduated from Cardiff in English Lit so was really interesting hearing what Bristol is like for the same subject! (I also almost went to Queens!) Great video 💕

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I’m sure it was so similar! That’s so funny we could have ended up on the same course! Thank you so much for watching I’m so glad you enjoyed 🥰

@123sccshelby 3 года назад

This was so interesting!! I know we’re in completely different schools (and countries wow) but my English courses have been similar thus far, though I’m still an undergrad. I’ve been contemplating double-majoring with English and Marketing/Business but after hearing about how intense it gets I don’t know if that’s a good idea😂 I loved this video and I’m looking forward to more about this subject!

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I’m sure an English Lit degree is incredibly similar all over the world!! I think the differences are really just what books are picked🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I would love to do marketing as I find digital marketing so interesting and intriguing but I get what you mean about the work load! 😭 But i always say just go for something If youre passionate and get an opportunity, just work harder I guess😂 I’m so glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for watching🥰

For my English degree we had a lot of grammar, writing, literature, and history of the English language. It was a lot. We had a major senior project at the end of our senior year that we start working on at the start of our senior year. Its so interesting to see how other programs are different

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

It’s definitely a degree where you have to balance so many different things! I actually would have liked some classes on some intricate grammar techniques/ critical techniques and technical terms! I think we are just expected to learn and find out ourselves🤷🏼‍♀️ We had an option to do that (a 10k dissertation) but juggling a lot of different modules is the other option basically😂

@wayhome13 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! Hopefully I'm accepted in English Literature this year ❤️

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoyed, thank you for watching!💜 I wish you lots of luck!

@ConnorStompanato 3 года назад

youre so right on them not helping you with essays at first, i wish theyd give you a little more guidance at the start. this was really interesting! i think if i studied english id end up hating books

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I definitely agree! I wish we were given more help with that, ahahah I get what you mean but tbh it can just make it more exciting when you find one you love from the reading lists!!

@christinacampbellbooks 3 года назад

This was so interesting to watch. Really took me back to my time at university. I studied English Language at the University of Leeds! :)

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

I always wonder what an English language degree would be like!! I’m so glad you enjoyed, thank you so much for watching 💜🥰

@notwithoutpizza4702 3 года назад

What was university of Leeds like? Would you recommend it? It’s the other option I’m considering and I don’t know whether to choose Bristol or Leeds

@christinacampbellbooks 3 года назад

@@notwithoutpizza4702 Yes, I would recommend Leeds. I'd say pick the university that feels most like 'you'. Hope that makes sense!

@neslihanak966 2 года назад

Hey I love that you did this video, thank you! I’m planning on applying to Bristol but I think there isn’t an English Literature undergraduate degree but there’s English BA and English Literature and Community Engagement. Which one do you study and also, what is the difference between English BA and English Literature?

@dedahmer 3 года назад

I'm studying something equivalent for English Lit, with Teaching, Linguistics and Translations too here in Brazil and I loved knowing what's like in other countries and universities!

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

That sounds so interesting!! So glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for watching🥰🥰

@tbd9688 3 года назад

This was so helpful! I can’t decide what to firm between uni of Bristol vs Manchester vs Sheffield for English:( so annoying that we can’t visit at the min.. as an English student are you allowed to use the law library (it looks gorgeous lol but don’t know if it’s just for law people) X

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Yes you're allowed to use the law library! You're allowed to use pretty much all of them! I'd choose Bristol if I were you ;) It's such a friendly city!

I always think back and wonder if I was like 16/17 again whether I would've looked at English courses instead of business or music tech haha - I probably would have done different a levels for sure x

@RebeccaBooks 3 года назад

Yeah it's weird thinking back but I don't think I would choose any differently tbh!! I wouldn't be smart enough to do a music a level though hahahah the GCSE killed me x

@emilykathleenreads 3 года назад

@@RebeccaBooks hahaha thats why I went with music tech because it was just getting other people to play while you recorded them hahaha xx

@francescarossi5601 Год назад

do you get any formal sit down exams? xx

@RebeccaBooks Год назад

Yes we did! Only a few but I think there were meant to be more if we hadn’t gone into lockdown so in my final year any exams were done online! Hopefully that helps ☺️
