I really admire you. It fascinates me that at Cambridge as a Lit student you have to read so many books and write essays on each week, whereas in my country, when you study English, professors almost apologize if they have to make us read one book a term, because students keep complaining that it is too much work. I love reading and learning about literature, and in hindsight I think I would really have thrived in a British university environment. It's just weird seeing how different courses are in different countries.
That's interesting to hear! Tbf Cambridge is quite different to some Universities in the country, and the course structure can be very different somewhere else (quite similar at Oxford/Durham/UCL I think). I do love how much we get to read but the 8 week terms make it feel very rushed! Sometimes it's a blessing to spend a lot of time on one text and really learn about it in depth ☺️
Totally agree! At my university it’s the same. Most of the time we only have to read about 3 books per Seminar. Unless it’s a class by my favorite professor. She always puts about 10 books on the syllabus. 😅 Maybe it’s because our instructors think that we read slower since we are not native speaker. 🤔 But yeah I also hate when people complain about having to read 4 books and than decide not to read a single book. 🤦🏼♀️
I'm envious of you. I'm a literature student as well and it's sooo good to watch your daily routine, studying poetry, visiting library and of all, its Cambridge. Wow.
If you want advice on applications for Master's degrees I'd look on the website of the University you're applying to - they usually have some info on what they're looking for!
Hi dear. Love from India. I had long ago completed Honours ( B. A .) in English literature and Masters ( M. A.) in English literature. Now I am doing B. Ed( bachelor in education ) . It is nice to see you working hard. Literature students have to read a lot which is a real fun. I am a bookworm too. Best wishes for your studies.
Not currently - I do discuss my studies in my vlogs and a couple of my videos are focused on essay-writing, coursework, organisation etc. but I don't have time to make specific videos about literature at the moment
omg you're so good at making yourself get out of bed and be productive, I think I only managed starting work at 9am for the first year of uni then I just gave up lol
I am an English literature student. In a second language though... I love reading but it disappoints me that when I read a book I can't get into the depth of that work. I only get the main story line and the plot and nothing more. I can't leave any comments about the work let alone writing an essay 😔 Any tips on how to solve this problem? Does reading more books help? I would really love to actually form opinions of my own and really enjoy the book that I am reading.
When I studied Spanish Literature for my A Level Exam, I found that reading the book in English and Spanish helped me to start picking out the main themes of the texts. It's incredibly difficult to pick out the nuances of literature if you're still learning the language - I assume practise probably does help though!
Hi Dear.. I am so delighted nd very excited to find you like English literature student from Cambridge and regularly I watch your all vedios. Thanks with a lot of love. God bless you🥰🙏
Hahaha there's absolutely ZERO chance of me being able to read all of Ulysses in a week 😂 I'll probably have to read it in my own time instead (whenever that will be) - I'm going to do two contemporary novels this week, Colson Whitehead's 'Zone One' and Ling Ma's 'Severance', then I might have some time to do Beckett before I redraft my coursework
Hi I am Yasmin Dawoojee from NZ and retired with a disability - I love studying English - especially 1940s war time. I love Antiques and reading classics at home and following the Queen Elizabeth. I use to wear outfits like yourself and realised it was too small the uniform - I prefer being at home and reading books online.
aha I definitely try to reply to as many as possible! Glad you enjoyed this video ☺️ will be uploading more 3rd year vlogs over the next couple of weeks 👀
hey, I just discovered your channel today and finding it so interesting! :) I'm Amelia btw, I'm a sixth form student looking at applying to unis right now... just curious, what made you decide to apply to cambridge > oxford? were you set on going to oxbridge from the beginning or were there other unis you were really interested in? and like... is there anything you think a student should know before they decide to apply to oxbridge? like the kind of person the uni would be suited to/ not suited to etc? I'm very indecisive ahah :/ love your channel!
Hi Amelia! If you're trying to decide between Ox and Cam it's usually best to look at the difference in course first and see if there are any major differences that make you want to apply for one over the other. For English, the courses are very similar at a lot of unis (across the UK, not just Oxbridge) so it didn't really play into my decision too much, although there were some 3rd year modules I liked the look of at Cam and some I wasn't drawn to on the Ox course. There were a few other little things like, I could go to the open day at Cam but not Ox and my English teacher suggested I go for Cam afterwards, but I didn't spend too long on the decision, probably because I thought i had no chance of getting in! Ox and Cam are v different cities tho - if you are finding them similar I'd consider whether that matters to you because Ox is a lot bigger than Cam
No I definitely was not set on Oxbridge at all because a) there are loads of amazing Unis other than Oxbridge and b) I didn't think I'd get in. Also, I'd say that I don't think it's worth anyone being 'set' on Oxbridge because getting in is based on so many different parts of the application process, and how they are assessed can vary from college to college. I really wanted to go to UCL, their English course isn't that different from the Cambridge one, they have small group teaching, and it's London lol, but when I got an offer from Cambridge I wasn't exactly going to turn it down 😂 it worked out well in a lot of ways but I'd still like to study in London at some point!
For reference, I applied to Cam, UCL, Durham, KCL and York - courses were all pretty similar, all but KCL had small group teaching (but I loved the rest of the uni), everywhere had funding options, easy-ish to get to via public transport from my home. Funnily enough, one of the things I looked for was funded opportunities to study languages and abroad over the summer - lots of unis have partnerships with unis abroad so you only have to cover the cost for flights and food (and sometimes bursaries cover that) - but Cambridge is the only Uni out of those that doesn't have a specific program for that sort of thing 😂 (there is funding for travel but only on an individual basis and most likely not as much)
There are lots of different types of people at Cambridge, I don't really think there's one type of applicant 🤔 I'd just decide on a list of things you care about in a uni - my video on modern vs traditional unis might be helpful? - and pick a list of unis where you'd be happy to go to any of the options. If you end up going to Oxbridge, then brilliant! but if you end up going to a different uni, that'd also be brilliant! ☺️
I'm not completely sure what I want to do in the future yet but I'm interested in media and marketing so maybe something in one of those industries 🤔☺️
Hi Georgia, I really enjoyed your video...I am a Communication Trainer in Pune, India. I have a dream of getting my Ph.d in English from internationally acclaimed University. I would love to see you grow in your chosen field that is Literature. Stay Blessed! Lots of love to you!
Hey that depends on a lot of factors such as if you're a UK or international student and your personal circumstances. I'd recommend finding the webpage of the postgraduate course you're interested in and then following it to the specific fees and funding page because the types of scholarships available will also depend on the course/department
I probably won't make a whole video on this but i was discussing it in one of the other comments on this video! I will make a video about what I'm going to do when I graduate in the near future though ☺️
Hi, Georgie. I am Susan. Nice to meet you. I am considering to apply for postgraduation. My mayor is English. And have been an English teacher for over 18 years.Could you recommend me a proper major which is fit for me such as English education teaching in Cambridge.Thanks.
I actually got pooled to Magdalene! Not sure if you know how the pooling system works but basically some colleges are oversubscribed (usually the bigger colleges) so when a student applies to a college but there isn't enough room for the college to accept another person, that student then gets 'pooled' to another college. However, having studied at Magdalene for two years I'd say some good reasons why a student should study at Magdalene are the lovely support network of college staff, our candlelit formal hall and our amazing new library 🥰
I originally narrowed down colleges to those that were medium sized, central and fairly traditional, but ended up applying to Pembroke because that's where Tom Hiddleston studied lol
I made a video called how to choose a Cambridge college a while back if you're interested in applying or want to know more about the different types of colleges
The fees are £9250 per year for UK students plus living costs which most students pay using a loan from the government - it's more expensive for International students and the funding process is different
Water bottle is from Chilly it's really good at keeping water cool! Backpack was from Jack Wills few years ago now, just bought a new one that's a bit bigger for next term though
Hi dear ❤i m sri lankan.please help me.😢😢😢can i go to the oxford university doing the o/l exam before and the A/L exam? How exactly do i apply to the oxford university ? Please reply me soon sister😢😢😢😢😢 😔😔😔😔😔
Hello, i felt good at your video. Please, can you give me a suggestion, that, how to remember vocabulary? Or how can i get it by reading books? because, i remember very hardly.
@@GeorgieEllen10 ohh okay. Thank you so much. Btw i am left with one more question, I'm sorry for troubling you this much but can you please tell me how should I study and manage my upcoming college(undergrad) life so that I can be ready to apply for masters if i have to study in Oxford or Cambridge. Like what should be my strategy from the very start of my undergrad time in terms of academics (most importantly) n maybe the extracurriculars too bcoz they are also seem by the unis so.
I am a Literature student in my country. But English isnt my first language. So yeaa... But Im graduating soon, this or one more semester, and i just had a thought yesterday that I want to study abroad. Idk if I will make it. But i do wish. and I want Cambridge :) Thats why i looked for this video
There are lots of international students studying in the UK including at Cambridge! I think there are usually specific language requirements if English isn't your first language, but all of the information about that and grade requirements, applications etc. will be on the Cambridge website :)
The application process for MPhil is different to undergraduate - I'm an undergraduate and I'm not a STEM student so I don't know much about it. If you're applying for MPhil you would be conducting your own research so I assume the project proposal is a title to the potential research project you'd like to carry out. On the Cambridge website, if you go through Biological Science (whether physiology, biochem or psychology) there are two links that say 'project' and 'research' if you haven't looked at those already - the research page has all of the current areas of study in the faculty so it might help you to choose a research topic. You also have to pick a potential supervisor when you apply to the course. I imagine if you email admissions, the faculty, or one of the supervisors they'd probably help and they'd definitely know more than me!
Hey I did my graduation in mechanical engineering and just because English is one of my favourite language, I want to pursue masters in English from this University but I don't know fees structure and whether they allow distance learning or not. If you don't mind can we talk?
An undergraduate English Literature course in the UK is 3 years long - UK students pay £9,250/year, usually by a student loan, and overseas students pay £22,227/year for English or other humanities degrees. Then you have to pay living costs of course. All of the information about costs and financial support is available on the Cambridge website.
Hii actually I have completed my masters in English literature . And I want to do PhD in English literature form cambridge so plz could you tell me is it possible ??
Hi, if you want information on applying for a PhD at Cambridge I'd recommend looking on the postgraduate sections of the Cambridge website as it'll contain all the information you need!
For UK students it's up to £9,250 to study any degree at Undergraduate level at any University in the country, which most people pay for through a student loan from the government. It's more expensive for international students but I don't know how much exactly, and postgraduate courses are a different price too. Prices for accomodation range from £50 to £150 a week in college usually, but contracts are only 30 weeks a year if you only live there during term time. If you need to stay in college all year around for whatever reason it'll be more expensive ofc
Hi, Love from india, I am also a student of literature, Can you please suggest me a book for literature because i want to read from a foreign University book ❤️
Lots of international students study English Literature or Linguistics at UK universities! They're usually separate courses I think but there might be some places you can take both subjects as a joint honours course?
More specifically: Supervision (or supo as students call them) - A small group teaching session with 1-3 students Seminar - a bigger class with 5-20 students (I usually have seminars with other Magdalene English students)
@@GeorgieEllen10 Your clarification has given me a better understanding of how teaching is done at Cambridge. Thank you for the additional information.
Getting better at reading and writing about Literature definitely comes with practise! There are still loads of things I struggle with 😅 Best of luck with your studies anyways ☺️
You have to submit a personal statement, take an entrance exam, and often submit a piece of work or an essay to show your skills in your subject, then attend an interview
I have passed my graduation in English this year. I am from Kolkata , india. My wish is to to study in a reputed university in UK. If you don't mind can you tell me some reputed universities in england. Anyway i like your channel have subscribed it.
Congratulations on your graduation! Which University is best depends on your subject, I'd recommend searching 'Complete University Guide' and having a look at their rankings to find out what might be best for you ☺️ Some good Universities are Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, Durham, St. Andrews, KCL, Newcastle and Leeds - but as I say, it depends what you'd like to study
@@GeorgieEllen10 i would like to study English literature. And my wish to do PhD. And i personally think England would be better to study English. As it is the mother tounge of England. And all total i got 7.56 in graduation. 71 percent
Lots of to do lists lol - I have an academic planner that I record all of my deadlines in, often another calendar to record things going on each week which I put on my desk, and then a few notebooks so I can always note down things to do. I try and eat and sleep well where possible, exercise, and take plenty of breaks so I don't get too exhausted while I'm working!
Hello! I'm Anisa.I want to study English literature at Cambridge University just like you.Please inform me how it will be possible. Good wishes for you. Love from Bangladesh....!!
Hlw Georgie Ellen... I am also a student of english literature. I wanna connected with you through facebook or email or twitter.. My country is Bangladesh. Our education system is not good. I wanna know about the curriculum, syllabus, books etc of your.
A good indicator of things I've studied at University are the videos I've done on books I've enjoyed or would recommend: one is called 10 books you should read for an English Literature degree, and there are two videos showing my top 10 favourite books from 1st and 2nd year. There is no set syllabus at Cambridge because you're encouraged to research whatever you enjoy across the set modules: in 1st and 2nd year we take 6 modules in Medieval, Renaissance, 18th century, Modern Literature, Shakespeare and one called 'practical criticism' where we learn about literary theory
The study of literature gives a broader understanding of social, political and philosophical constructs, language and linguistic structures, and the forms of speech and communication that society is built on. It helps us to understand the way that humans express themselves based on public and personal factors. Practically, English students are incredibly versatile and go into a broad range of careers from the Arts to Finance, Business to Law, as well as more stereotypical roles such as Journalism and Publishing. Any English degree teaches a person to read deeply and think critically about a range of sources and draw a conclusion, a skill which I'm sure you'll agree is important in all sorts of situations. The ability to write well and argue your opinion could never be limited to the study of a certain subject. I could go on, but I hope this answers your question 🙂
@@GeorgieEllen10 sorry but I just cannot see what use an English graduate is in a business or finance environment (environments I know well). Not saying there's not transferable skills somewhere but why would an organisation recruit an English graduate for a finance role when they could take graduates with far stronger skillets for such fields such as those with economics and mathematical backgrounds?
It probably depends on the role - plus they could've easily gotten experience in those things while at uni outside of their degree. Most degrees don't directly lead to a career anyways so you're really only getting it (employability wise) to say you have the skillset to get a degree and to build other skills around it. Might as well enjoy what you're studying
Hi Georgie!! I really loved the way you portrayed this subject in such a positive way! Many people don't understand the reason why we are so passionate about English Literature and it is not just stories! Thank uuuu ❤️
I really admire you.

If you're applying for MPhil you would be conducting your own research so I assume the project proposal is a title to the potential research project you'd like to carry out. On the Cambridge website, if you go through Biological Science (whether physiology, biochem or psychology) there are two links that say 'project' and 'research' if you haven't looked at those already - the research page has all of the current areas of study in the faculty so it might help you to choose a research topic. You also have to pick a potential supervisor when you apply to the course. I imagine if you email admissions, the faculty, or one of the supervisors they'd probably help and they'd definitely know more than me!
@@GeorgieEllen10 thanks a lot ellen for your kindness.
Hey I did my graduation in mechanical engineering and just because English is one of my favourite language, I want to pursue masters in English from this University but I don't know fees structure and whether they allow distance learning or not. If you don't mind can we talk?
Hi! You can find out more about studying at Cambridge on the University website - all of the information about admissions is on there 😁
I'm an Indian. I also studying English literature. Can you pls say me how much fees for a 1 year to study literature
An undergraduate English Literature course in the UK is 3 years long - UK students pay £9,250/year, usually by a student loan, and overseas students pay £22,227/year for English or other humanities degrees. Then you have to pay living costs of course. All of the information about costs and financial support is available on the Cambridge website.
Beautiful I am speechless
Hii actually I have completed my masters in English literature . And I want to do PhD in English literature form cambridge so plz could you tell me is it possible ??
Hi, if you want information on applying for a PhD at Cambridge I'd recommend looking on the postgraduate sections of the Cambridge website as it'll contain all the information you need!
What is the cost of studying English literature at any college under Cambridge University ( including hostel charges)??
For UK students it's up to £9,250 to study any degree at Undergraduate level at any University in the country, which most people pay for through a student loan from the government. It's more expensive for international students but I don't know how much exactly, and postgraduate courses are a different price too. Prices for accomodation range from £50 to £150 a week in college usually, but contracts are only 30 weeks a year if you only live there during term time. If you need to stay in college all year around for whatever reason it'll be more expensive ofc
I wish I knew about literature when I was little.
there's always time to learn something new 😁🫶🏻
Can I contact you some way how ?

One of my favourite works of literature is 'The Duchess of Malfi' by John Webster!
I'd like to audit this class. Lol.
Please can u tell what's the scope of English Literature or linguistics in uk for international students ?
Lots of international students study English Literature or Linguistics at UK universities! They're usually separate courses I think but there might be some places you can take both subjects as a joint honours course?
am also MA english literature student from india.nice vlog
Supervision = class
More specifically:
Supervision (or supo as students call them) - A small group teaching session with 1-3 students
Seminar - a bigger class with 5-20 students (I usually have seminars with other Magdalene English students)
@@GeorgieEllen10 Your clarification has given me a better understanding of how teaching is done at Cambridge. Thank you for the additional information.
hii georgiee I m also a student of eng litrature bt smtimes I feel really bad as I m not so good in this language as u are 🙁🙁

Hey I want to pursue masters in English
Wow good pernonciation ...keep it up
Love from India .♥️. What is the procedure to get into Cambridge university and Good Luck for future :)
You have to submit a personal statement, take an entrance exam, and often submit a piece of work or an essay to show your skills in your subject, then attend an interview
I have passed my graduation in English this year. I am from Kolkata , india. My wish is to to study in a reputed university in UK. If you don't mind can you tell me some reputed universities in england. Anyway i like your channel have subscribed it.
Congratulations on your graduation!
Which University is best depends on your subject, I'd recommend searching 'Complete University Guide' and having a look at their rankings to find out what might be best for you ☺️ Some good Universities are Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, Durham, St. Andrews, KCL, Newcastle and Leeds - but as I say, it depends what you'd like to study
@@GeorgieEllen10 i would like to study English literature. And my wish to do PhD. And i personally think England would be better to study English. As it is the mother tounge of England. And all total i got 7.56 in graduation. 71 percent
Probably best to search different postgraduate English literature courses online then and see which University suits you best!
@@GeorgieEllen10 thank you very much.
Hello.i am also in English honours from India.
Hey Ellen i wanna ask how do you manage your time
Lots of to do lists lol - I have an academic planner that I record all of my deadlines in, often another calendar to record things going on each week which I put on my desk, and then a few notebooks so I can always note down things to do. I try and eat and sleep well where possible, exercise, and take plenty of breaks so I don't get too exhausted while I'm working!
Hello! I'm Anisa.I want to study English literature at Cambridge University just like you.Please inform me how it will be possible. Good wishes for you. Love from Bangladesh....!!
Hi Anisa - I'm not sure of the application process for international students but if you look on the Cambridge website it should explain it ☺️
@@GeorgieEllen10 Thank you... Hope we will meet in future.
Did someone tell you that you look a bit like Drew Barrymore ?
Funnily enough a few people have said that now 😂
Hi dear, all the for studies... I m also a Literature student... Lets discuss more on this ... In in touch
Hlw Georgie Ellen... I am also a student of english literature. I wanna connected with you through facebook or email or twitter..
My country is Bangladesh. Our education system is not good. I wanna know about the curriculum, syllabus, books etc of your.
A good indicator of things I've studied at University are the videos I've done on books I've enjoyed or would recommend: one is called 10 books you should read for an English Literature degree, and there are two videos showing my top 10 favourite books from 1st and 2nd year. There is no set syllabus at Cambridge because you're encouraged to research whatever you enjoy across the set modules: in 1st and 2nd year we take 6 modules in Medieval, Renaissance, 18th century, Modern Literature, Shakespeare and one called 'practical criticism' where we learn about literary theory
Hope that helps!
Thank you ellen. I've send a massage by Instagram. If you reply me and accept my follow request, I will be very helpfull..
Hey... I'm from India the literature lover... 😊😊🇮🇳🇮🇳

Why go to university to study this stuff? I know people are passionate about it but what is the added value?
The study of literature gives a broader understanding of social, political and philosophical constructs, language and linguistic structures, and the forms of speech and communication that society is built on. It helps us to understand the way that humans express themselves based on public and personal factors.
Practically, English students are incredibly versatile and go into a broad range of careers from the Arts to Finance, Business to Law, as well as more stereotypical roles such as Journalism and Publishing. Any English degree teaches a person to read deeply and think critically about a range of sources and draw a conclusion, a skill which I'm sure you'll agree is important in all sorts of situations. The ability to write well and argue your opinion could never be limited to the study of a certain subject.
I could go on, but I hope this answers your question 🙂
@@GeorgieEllen10 sorry but I just cannot see what use an English graduate is in a business or finance environment (environments I know well). Not saying there's not transferable skills somewhere but why would an organisation recruit an English graduate for a finance role when they could take graduates with far stronger skillets for such fields such as those with economics and mathematical backgrounds?
It probably depends on the role - plus they could've easily gotten experience in those things while at uni outside of their degree. Most degrees don't directly lead to a career anyways so you're really only getting it (employability wise) to say you have the skillset to get a degree and to build other skills around it. Might as well enjoy what you're studying
Hi Georgie!! I really loved the way you portrayed this subject in such a positive way! Many people don't understand the reason why we are so passionate about English Literature and it is not just stories! Thank uuuu ❤️
