A Week in the Life of a Sociology with Psychology and Data Analytics Student at City

Hi! I'm a second year student studying Sociology with Psychology and Data Analytics at City St George's, University of London. I wanted to share what a typical week looks like for me, from lectures and seminars to social time and work as a student ambassador.

My Weekly Timetable 📅
Here's a look at how my week is usually structured:

Monday
Psychology lecture
Psychology seminar

Tuesday
Gender and Society Lecture
Gender and Society Seminar

Wednesday
Quantitative Data Placement Lecture
Visualising Society Lecture

Thursday and Friday- Independent study, reading, catching up on assignments, or working student ambassador shifts.

Balancing Study & Life 🧠
Because I don't have uni every day, I get time during the week to study at my own pace. I try to stay on top of readings and assignment's early in the day so I can take the evenings off. When I'm not studying, I'm often working as a student ambassador, which is flexible and fits around my timetable. I love meeting student from other courses and being part of campus life in a more active way.

Getting involved at City 💼
One of the best things I've done at uni is join the Q-Step programme, which I found out about during my first year. After achieving a 1st in my Quantitative Methods module, I was able to add Data Analytics to my degree, and it led to a 10-day placement at an organisation where I applied real data skills in a workplace setting. It was an amazing opportunity that I wouldn't have had if I hadn't come to City.

My Tips for Students
Use your free time wisely. Even an hour between lectures can be enough to review your notes or grab lunch with friends. ☕

Make the most of campus spaces. I love how many areas there are to study, chill, or socialise, especially since they've renovated parts of the university. 👥

Get involved! Whether it's through work, placement, or societies, the more you do, the more you gain experience, friends, and confidence. 🎯
