Kings College London 2009 Applicants :)

I've applied for that! There are a limited number of English Language students on TSR, however, I find it so much more relevant and fasinating than literature. Each to their own though I suppose! Sent my application on the 22nd Nov, but substituted for King's so they only got my application on 04 Dec. Heard nothing as of yet. What about everybody else?

Ooh, I have a couple! You might regret offering yourself up to be plagued by us!

1. Do you know when the Visit Days are? Hopefully I won't need to book any more than a day off work for them, but if I do I need a month's notice minimum, which is a bit crappy.
2. How, timewise, do they fit in the 8 modules per year? Is it four modules for the first two terms, with four sets of seminar/lectures per week? Or do they put some of them in the third term/spend half a term on two modules, and the other half on another two?
3. Do they offer Erasmus?

Thanks!

Are Kings usually realllly slow at getting back to people?

well i got a reply in a month, which isn't that long.

Sorry for the late reply. I was away for the Christmas and New Year breaks. I haven't slept since last year, literally , so apologies if this post isn't very well constructed.

1- I can't tell you when the Open Days are because they haven't been announced yet but that page does say they will be announced in the new year, so keep checking. If you're ever in London, however, then you can just help yourself to a tour of the Strand campus, where English students are based. You don't need ID to get in and out, and staff are aware that prospective students will be around at this time of year and are usually happy to help!

2- The former is more correct. You take 4 modules per semester, so that's 4 between September and January and 4 between January and Summer. For each module, you have one lecture and one seminar per week, with the former coming before the latter so you know what you're discussing during the seminar In the second semester, you get to pick a module, but the other 7 are compulsory. In the second year you have a lot more freedom. The modules, I find, are all really good and varied, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Any offers for English yet? I want a reply!

I've looked everywhere on the website, and can't see the opening dates for the department anywhere I really want to know, even though I know there's only a fortnight of waiting left anyway!

How canst thou know this? You mean for the deadline? Hopefully offers will come in after that unless they interview loads. It says on the website they try to interview the majority...whatever that means :P

Er... no they don't, I'm sure? They interview borderline candidates.
Besides, I'm pretty sure quite a few people on here have been given English offers before interview (don't go by the first post, it's not been updated for aaaages).

*Looks at Johannski's signature* UCL interview most candidates, so that's probably what you're thinking about!

That might be true, me confusing them. Well, I do hope there's no interview =) Which means....come on King's!!! :P
