Life as a second year student
Being a second year student in the Russian and Slavonic Studies
department is not the most difficult thing in the world. Having an
extremely helpful and friendly department is really important,
particularly when doing your undergraduate degree.
One problem though… you have to learn Russian by the end of this year or
you’re
going to have a rather ‘interesting’ time in the Russian Federation for
your third year!
However, as a second year student I am aware of a lot of
questions:
- What are your plans? Where do you plan to go? Where do you want to live? Do you want to continue your education after Sheffield?
- Where do you want to be? What job do you want?
- What are you doing now? Are you learning new skills? Can you learn a new language?
My personal story...
I speak German, Mandarin Chinese and Russian, and I’m
learning Japanese and Italian. I’m also learning about Politics, Economics and
Diplomacy in my spare time. I plan to go to Moscow in the Russian Federation to
study a Master’s degree in Diplomacy. I want to work as a Diplomat for the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office and, ideally, live in Moscow. I’m currently working
for the Careers Service as an ambassador to the student body, and I’m also the
student representative for my course.
Are you the same? If yes, and you know exactly what you need
to do, or want to do, awesome! If not, come to the Careers Service. Speak to
them about what you can, want and need to do, and they can help to get you on
course to achieve your goals.
