Roksana SologubNationality: Russian Programme: IFPAt Queen Mary I have studied the one-yearInternational Foundation Programme inSocial Science. Besides studying theacademic subjects e.g. BusinessManagement I had English classes thatwere targeted to develop my English. And Ican say that my academic writing andreading skills and understanding of essayhave improved a lot as well as my criticalthinking. As a result I can identify mainpoints in texts and hidden meanings. Also, doing regular tests, exams andassignments has helped me to becomeused to working under pressure andmeeting deadlines.

I found QMUL on the internet and I knew itwas a place where I wanted to study. I hadnot been in London before and did notknow the city at all when I arrived, however,Queen Mary offered a number of trips toexplore the city in the beginning of theacademic year. Although I did not finishEnglish school in Russia, I never felt out ofplace as University staff members providehome-like support. One can always showtheir artistic abilities and expand theirknowledge. There are no limitations forhard-working people.

All students, especially international ones,fear to be alone but Freshers week gave usa chance to meet new people and makefriends that become a new family over time.Capmus is absolutely amazing in the end ofthe academic year it feels like home whereyou know everyone. I finished FoundationProgramme at Queen Mary University ofLondon and now looking back I miss thiswonderful Queen Mary days and a year fullof adventures. It was a pleasure to be a partof Queen Mary.

French and ComparativeLiteratureGerman and ComparativeLiteratureHispanic Studies andComparative LiteratureRussian and ComparativeLiteratureYour degree is split equally between yourlanguage and Comparative Literature.Comparative Literature makes connections –between literary texts of different times, placesand traditions and between literature and film,music, the visual arts and popular culture. Youalso study a national language and culture indepth, and will also explore the broaderperspective of the literatures and cultures ofEurope, Latin America and beyond. In your firstyear you will study four introductory literaturemodules; and four modules in your chosenlanguage area, including two in the written andspoken language. In your second and finalyears, you will take advanced module optionsconcentrating on particular literary themes,movements and genres plus a ComparativeLiterature research project. Core languagemodules continue to assist you in developingyour linguistic skills, and you will spend a yearabroad in a country where your chosenlanguage is spoken.

Ilya KantsedikasNationality: RussianProgramme: MBBSMy decision to read medicine was influencedby the challenge and diversity of the subjectmatter inherent in this field. As the course atBarts and The London is precisely that –challenging and diverse – I was compelled tostudy here. The existing teaching facilities aretop-notch and the School of Medicine isconstantly striving to improve our experience. Ihave seen changes made to the course basedon the feedback received from us and I think itis great that our opinion matters. The stellaroutcome of the recent Research AssessmentExercise highlights our reputation as an world-class institution not content with resting on itslaurels.

However quality learning experience is just asmall part of the fantastic three years that I'vehad at Barts and The London. I havementioned diversity before and it is absolutely

astonishing how many people from different backgrounds I have met during my time here.There is a huge number of extracurricular activities to get involved in and there is a club or asociety to cater to almost anyone's taste. Through my involvement in RAG and rowing I metmany of my friends whom I shared some of the best moments of my time at university.

Finally I would like to say a few words about the local area. As a medical student I spend lesstime on the main campus and get to explore the locality a bit more while on placements. Whilethe East End may not have the immediate appeal of central London there is still plenty to doaround here with Victoria park a stone's throw from Mile End and the nooks and crannies ofBrick Lane awaiting exploration. I am particularly fond of Hackney as it has plenty of less-knowntreasures such as London Fields (especially the Lido) and Ridley Road market.
