@@charliejdk thank you! 😊

Hi! I didn’t have an interview so I don’t know. You can always reach out to admissions if you are concerned or want to know an estimate.

Hi! I think it will depend on different factors how quickly they get back to you. You can always reach out to admissions to get an estimate. I’m not too familiar with Oxford interviews as I didn’t have one with Oxford.

Don’t pin me on it but I believe that all undergrads will live in college for at least their first year. This means that to a certain extend they are ‘forced’ to participate in college life. They will eat all meals in hall for example and living amongst your peers you are more likely to bond with them quicker. However, this does not mean that as a grad you cannot have this experience. Some colleges have some rooms available for grads to live onsite, others don’t but even in that instance you can still make an effort and go to your college. As a grad I didn’t live in my college but I did very actively participate in college life as I made the effort to do so. On the other hand, if a second year undergrad lives off-site and decides not be involved for whatever reason they are able to distance themselves to a certain extend also. In the end it all comes down to the amount of effort you put in. Whether or not you’re an undergrad or grad. But as a grad you likely will have to put in slightly more effort than a first year undergrad. I hope this answer helped you out a bit.

You’re welcome!

i have an update!!! yesterday, after MONTHS, 100+ grad scheme applications, countless rejections, getting to final stages, i finally got a job offer for one of the best grad schemes in uk and i can’t believe the salary, i beat all the odds not going to a target skl, low income background, black muslim woman, single parent household etc, the way i cried happiness yesterday 😭. i feel so relieved and grateful honestly bc this process has been sooo hard

@@ChenruiZhang-p2m Thank you for sharing!! Good luck on your job applications!! It will work out!!

You deserve so many more views n subs ❤❤❤❤

@@Bob-Mann aww thank you! Happy you found my video!

Hi! I did uni in NL, USA, and the UK (in that order). I ended up staying in the UK after graduating from my master’s. Which is probably why I sound English 😅

@Steffie228G I think 90% of people would say you're English with your accent. I thought you were English initially, but after about a minute, I was thinking, no, I can hear an accent, but couldn't hear exactly where. 🙂 I didn't think Dutch was your language, but I can hear it _slightly_ at times, but you have to know what you’re listening for. I thought maybe French or German was your accent. Your accent sounds like someone who moved to England at a young age (probably 10-12) and has spent most of their life in England. How did you find university life compared to the USA and UK? Thanks for the reply. 🙂

@@Locutus haha totally fair - British people often say that I have an international school accent. Foreigners living in the UK often ask if I’m from Ireland 😅 I preferred both the UK and the USA, in terms of uni, over NL. I prefer the style of teaching and the mindset about (research) uni. Between the USA and the UK, my preference goes out to the UK. I felt that the UK was more academically focussed while the USA was slightly more practically focused and much more guided (not saying the USA wasn’t academic). Interestingly, my husband shares my viewpoint, despite having gone to a different USA uni. Despite my preference going out to the UK in this instance, I do believe my USA experience was very important for my masters later on. And if the right opportunity would arise in the future, I would definitely consider both the USA and the UK.

@Steffie228G I think doing uni in the USA and UK is a good thing. It gives you a more broader perspective of your field of study. Your story reminds of this Danish girl I met years ago travelling. I thought she was English at first, but I didn't recognise her accent. It sounded South East, but I just hadn't heard it before. She said she wasn't British, she was Danish. I didn't believe her! 😂 She said that she grew up in the south of Spain, watching Sky TV and hanging around Britons all day. Like I said, I was very surprised as she had the full British mannerisms in her behaviour and words.

@@Locutus thats so interesting! Accents are a funny thing. Thank you for sharing.

@@martinika823 hi! Im not sure I fully understand your question, but I was not necessarily expecting to get a scholarship (since I remember not being eligible for lots of them since I’m not British) so I made sure before applying that my financials would work as Oxford was not a lot more expensive over Bristol, Birmingham etc.

@@Steffie228G i'm going to apply for a dhil (1+3) Oxford course and i'm an Italian student. i'd expect a scholarship just because i have a very low-income (also in italy where living cost is lower). why had you provide a finance declaration? you didn't get the Oxford scholarship (that doesn't require an additional application) ps: thx for answering:)

@@martinika823 I am pretty sure every student has to submit something that states that they are able to pay for their course. If I remember correctly it was my college asking me for proof that I would be able to pay for my degree and living costs. I would assume that this is up to each college to deal with these types of declarations in their own way. I assume it’s just the college making sure they admit students who can pay their fees.

Thank you for sharing. In the end it all comes down to the student and to what extend the school they happened to end up in is a fit with their needs and wants. For some it works out and for others it doesn’t not work out unfortunately.

Here you go: www.britishairways.com/content/en/fr/information/help-and-contacts/complaints-and-claims if the link doesnt work I just Googled “british airways complaint” which brought me to this page. Hope you get you luggage back soon and good luck! 🤞

I’m not sure I fully understand your question, so please feel free to elaborate. All companies have their own application portal for vacancies. Hope this helped.

Apologies if I skipped over your uni

2/3 days a week 😊 I quite like to go in at least 3 since I find it easier to socialise and quickly ask questions that way

Irish?! Interesting 😅 my native language is Dutch but I’ve never live in Ireland

I applied to generalist graduate schemes after uni, got into one I really liked and stayed on with the company in a finance role, as I discovered my love for it while rotating through different functions.

Hi! You should be absolutely fine! I’m not a native English speaker either, did my master’s in the UK, stayed to work, and ended up in finance. I have lots of friends and colleagues who aren’t native English speakers either and they’re doing just fine too 😊

@@martinika823 hi! Best way to find it would be googling the name of your university and ‘career services’ in the same search bar. I believe most universities have some form of career services. If it doesn’t yield any response you can always check with your faculty or front desk to see if the uni offers any support.

Aww thank you! I would say the Monday and Tuesday in my video were tougher days for me than usual, I’m sorry if it did not come across that way. Despite those days being tougher than usual for me, I feel like I still cannot really complain, as I really like my job and the work life balance I have, despite working in finance. 😊

@@dkane2040 no worries at all - I got married in 2021 which was right in between my bachelors and masters.

@@dkane2040 I must admit that I had very little work experience and I had a merit, not a first 😅 I applied to lots of them and learned how to do well in the applications along the way. There are some vids up on my channel on graduate scheme application advice (+ one will go up tomorrow)

Aww thank you! I really cannot complain :)

@@Steffie228GI’m sure you have bad days sometimes especially working in the financial world 🌎

Originally when I started my degree, my goal was to become a French high school teacher. As life continues, plans and goals can change, which happened to me. Fortunately, I ended up in the UK where university is seen more as a place where you learn transferable skills, in comparison to the Netherlands where I’m from and where I started off in uni, allowing me to apply to different graduate schemes. Did it make the job search easier, probably not, but my odds were so much better than back home. It’s a lot more accepted here to have a humanities background and work in a business setting. Believe it or not, I now work in finance and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made to study a subject I’m passionate about.

@@bluegaming2746 that’s amazing your school provided this! I wish more schools would offer flexible learning opportunities like these.

If you enjoy Wiskunde B in highschool I can recommend watching mathematics youtube videos by the likes of 3Blue1Brown(neat visualizations), Blackpenredpen(mainly calculus, how I learned integration techniques never shown in highschool before integration was introduced to us in highschool), Micheal Penn (similar to WO university math courses like linear algebra (2)) and many others at varying levels. You can challenge yourself to solve the problem in the thumbnail and only watch the video after you've done it or failed to do so. Then you'll surely ace your math final.

Thank you for your comment! I will definitely leave them an online review. And always great to hear from other female DIYers! Have fun on your projects 😃

But this would be assuming the people from workers background have the mental ability to make it through university. My mother comes from the Berlin 70s ghettos from a migrant background and no matter how much handholding she had she still ended up very dumb. She got a social working degree and can't understand fractions. Also look at the black acceptance rates at Harvard and see the percentage of people that actually graduate Vs other ethnicities. Punishing a university for not having enough students passing will only make them lower the standards in order not be finned money.

@@habibikebabtheiii2037 I will explain. In the Arab countries as well as in African countries, there was a lot of inbreedind/incest children. Next to that, when women get children before 25 years, they are of lower quality. The result of having in your ancestors inbreeding or incest children, or too young mothers, is a low IQ and a damaged or destroyed social gen. (conscience) It is therefore that these populationa are more violent than others. Note: 130 wars big and small are going on.98% is islam related; 92% is between muslims. Then IQ. Look at the Nobel prices. jews 0,2% of world population yet 25% of Nobel prices. muslima: 25% of world population, yet only 0,05% of Nobel prices. --------------------- One of the reasons why not so many working class kids are at university is as follows. --the tests are made by middle class ppl; with their own use of language, which is NOT the same as from working class. --Next to that; middle class and higher know what is study about; working class have no idea, and are not informed. --Then: in the old days, scholarship was easy to get; nowadays a bit complex. And for working class: more difficult to pay all extra costs. --Then the life of a student: is of certain luxury level; working class is a different world. They cannot join in, or are not wellcomed.

@@habibikebabtheiii2037 I would change the system completely. In 1940: 6% from working class; in 1980 less; as then there were many tax deductions. I would obligate the universities to boost up these figures with at least 10% per year; if not succesfull--say they reach 7%--cut their salaries with 3% permanent They can do this with information starting at basic schools. The universities itself are hpeless bad organized. First: a biometric timeclock; and minimum 40 working hours per week; and max 6 weeks per year closed. Then Nonsence faculties, as "womens work"and emancipation"and "slave history"closed down. Then at least 25 hours per week college. (clock hours) The exuse: not enough spaces: nonsence. College can also be in evening weekend or night. Working vy personel-for third parties--or writing a book under working hours: absolute forbidden. Then thougout the country: same faculty--same booklists; no books written by teaching personel. Then we are getting somewhere.

Maybe the one year I lived in the US had some influence? Other than that I have no idea 😅

Hi! Thank you for watching. This video is mainly about how I felt going through the job application process after uni. There’s a separate video up on my channel with advice on how to get on a grad scheme. I do believe that it is partly a numbers game and partly getting better at interviews thanks to practice as you interview over and over again. Which boils down to not giving up on the applications which can be incredibly frustrating and demotivating. But I really do think that the main thing is to not give up and learn from your unsuccessful applications. Which is really difficult sometimes. In the year I was applying I had several things that weren’t helping, one being covid and the other being an ongoing Brexit. This meant that lots of companies were hesitant to hire EU citizens as some would require visa sponsorship while others don’t and it was sometimes unclear for companies what the situations was as companies don’t tend to sponsor very junior people. Multiple times I had to stress that I did not require a visa. Besides that, as an EU person my school marks and info does not fit into the application prompts. For example I didn’t do GCSEs because we don’t have them nor do we have an equivalent back home. So multiple times I had to reach out to companies as I couldn’t submit the application form as filling out gcse marks was a mandatory field. One company went as far as saying that they couldn’t continue with my application if I kept on refusing to share my gcse results. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The other obvious thing was indeed my degree subject. French isn’t the most logical subject to get on a grad scheme with. However, during the assessment centres, there were multiple other applicants who studied history or English. In my grad scheme cohort I think we’re 50/50 on business related degrees vs other degrees. Lastly, the other things that impacted me were my lack of experience in applying to jobs as well as my lack of experience of having a job.
