Vickie Monthong
(currently an English Philology PhD candidate in Germany)
My experiences at the English department fuelled my journey into post-graduate studies. After earning a Master degree, I am now a PhD candidate studying video games in Germany.
As a graduate of the Bachelor programme, the far-reaching and contemporary topics included in the curriculum have aspired me to further pursue an academic career. The curriculum demonstrate a cutting-edge approach to think anew of the English language and its interconnectedness with other disciplines. Because of the wide variety of topics I encountered in my Bachelor and the encouraging learning atmosphere it provides, I was well-equipped to go to academic conferences and establish international academic exchanges across different countries. I believe that the nurturing environment at the English department and the comprehensive courses in this programme offer a strong foundation for my career path.
