East Asian Language Applicants 2018

こんにちは! 您好! 안녕하세요!

I thought I'd start a thread specifically for East Asian language applicants for 2018 entry since most people have sent off their applications by now. Hopefully this will be a good place to meet people who are doing similar courses and applying to the same unis!

Please introduce yourself either using the template or however else you would like:

Good luck with your applications!

(Also, thanks to Rex Onocrotalus for the inspo, I low-key copied your whole template, sorry haha)

Name: Samantha
Location: Shropshire
Language(s): Japanese, possibly with something else if I get the option
Why this course: I’ve been self-studying the language for about two years and want the structure of a course, along with the opportunities for speaking practice and meeting people with a similar interest in the language and culture
A-Level Subjects: Psychology, History and Sociology
GCSE Subjects: The core ones along with History, Law, French and Psychology
Unis applied to: Cardiff, Manchester (declined lmao), Oxford Brookes, Sheffield and Warwick. Seems like every Japanese student has Sheffield on their list, my first choice is Cardiff though.

Name: Bethanie
Location: Birmingham
Language(s): Japanese and Linguistics! (plans to add either Chinese, Korean, or German as an optional/extra )
Why this course: I love the language and have been self studying for a bit, linguistics is also soooo interesting to me.
A-Level Subjects: Sociology, English Language, Graphics and General studies
GCSE Subjects: too many and too long ago haha
Unis applied to: MMU(2 courses), Sheffield and Soas(2 courses)
Other: I'm 23 so applying as a mature student... my grades at A level were pretty abysmal so I'm not expecting any offers, decided to apply anyway though because I like suffering I guess? Honestly SOAS is my dream uni so even if I get a place somewhere else I'll probably still just do an access course and hopefully get an offer for SOAS next year!
