SM: UCL is famous for being a cutting edge institution. Do the classes live up to that reputation?
Kohinoor: Classes at UCL are very challenging, but that’s the best thing about them. Professors have high expectations, so there is a lot more studying done outside the classroom than inside!

SM: What is your focus? Have your studies prepared you enough for jumping into the career pool?
Kohinoor: I study English Language and Literature. With my course being art-based it has not prepared me entirely for a career. Had I studied Law or Medicine I would know the direct route I wanted to go in.

SM: Is the university actively involved in helping students plan their futures?
Kohinoor: A lot of the time you have to be independent and find things yourself, like the career advisors. The University of London, as a whole, has very helpful career services where they will personally advise you. There are also regular career fairs where you can meet recruiters and get an idea about what companies are looking for.
