Hey, I'm in third year, doing mod languages and secondary education (although I've decided to drop education now - don't want to teach!) so if you have any questions about the languages/education department, just ask!

Apparently all the nurses stay in the same place? Is this true, and where do we stay??!!
I'm fairly sure the nurses are usually in AK Davidson!

Heeey, aww thank you, that's fab!
I'm guessing it's easy to do that if one part of the course isn't quite what you wanted? When you were doing languages and teaching combined did you go into a lot of depth where the languages were concerned? Anyways, thank yaaa!Original post by _KatieWhite

When you were doing languages and teaching combined did you go into a lot of depth where the languages were concerned? Anyways, thank yaaa!Yeah, Stirling is quite flexible with changing subjects a bit, although I think you have to have decided before third year - especially with primary teaching, as you do less languages and more teaching modules for the primary course.
Emm, how do you mean in depth exactly? In your first 2 semesters (you'll hear semesters talked about at Stirling more than 'years'), you'll do a general education module, and either both languages (French and Spanish) or one language and another random module - whatever you like. I think then for Primary, you choose which language will be your specialty at the end of semester 2 (end of first year) and then in semesters 3 and 4, you do two education modules and one language modules. I'm pretty sure for primary you don't do ANY language after the Christmas of your third year. If you're really wanting to do in depth languages work, it might be worth looking at the secondary degree, because you do much more language work for that!
For both French and Spanish, you'll have about 3-4 hours a week - an oral class, a grammar class, a culture (literature/films etc) class and a culture lecture (these are sometimes fortnightly though). If you're doing beginners for either of them, you just have 3 seminar classes a week and you cover quite a lot in a short space of time. I did beginners Spanish and hated (still hate!) it! French has always been more my thing though. Some of the culture classes are really interesting, some of it is pretty dull, but on the whole I enjoyed most of it. Oral classes are a good laugh. Have you done Advanced Higher in either language? You'll find certainly in first year that a lot of the vocab/grammar that comes up you'll have covered in AH =)
I hope that helps a bit, if you have any more specific questions you know where I am!

Im currently on my gap year and have a place to study History starting in September. Emailed the university around 2/3 weeks ago to inform them that I still wish to take up my place and was told that I will receive a welcome pack in July. Anyone else doing history?
technically I'm studying animal biology but I've emailed the university and they said if i do history as a module in first year I can choose between the two courses at the end of 1st year
so may see you!

Sweet watch out for me as I dont think many people introduce themselves as spoon haha! They try and make you do three different subjects in first year as it means its easy to change your mind
haha I can't do three different subjects as animal biology takes up too as i need to do science practicals
that is also true haha I'm Katie.. think thats a bit more commonWhen is it we get to apply for Halls?

From what I've heard packs get sent out in July time, no matter when you accept your offer. Also, any other Environmental Science students in here?
