    ah I see
    do they offer hands-on courses were you actually have to do some writing?
    over here, newspaper publishers discourage young people from studying journalism. They recommend to study something like politics/history/literature/theatre and then do an internship with a local newspaper

    Yeah, I have to take academic writing, university writing and composition in my first year at UVic (if I'm reading the website correctly, which is unlikely). They don't have a program called 'Journalism'.

    Formally I'm studying nothing right now. I recieved my BFA in Fine Art (major in painting, minors in drawing and print, and honors work in art history) a bit over 10 years ago, along with post graduate work leading to licensure in Art Education. I currently teach art in a public school in a very urban setting. As the wonderful world of public education requires continual CEUs (continuing education units) and I refuse to ever take another education course if I can help it (They are the most inane and worthless classes, taught my retarded theorists who have never placed a foot inside the classroom... and most certainly not inside the classrooms of urban America), I will probably end up getting an MFA in studio art through an independent studies program (and probably end up taking the classes with an artist/college professor/acquaintence who has no more experience than myself. Formal education,of course, I believe is but a small part of my "studies". I have no problem with admitting that in many ways I continue to be a student... and an autodidact. After completing my BFA I spent endless hours (days, months, years) studying any number of subjects which interested me: literature, classical music, jazz, opera, art history, art theory, art criticism, history, book arts, etc... I suppose I am especially "book learned"... but then again, I guess that is a large part of why I am here. I am an unabashed bibliophile... if not a bibliomaniac.

    Hi Ee, I'm studying English and Geography to become a teacher. I'm not taking an M.A. but the course is equivalent to M.A.. English is made up mainly of English Lit and English Linguistics (plus language and area studies courses).
    I'm mainly a Linguist, but I like Lit, too

    I have one more year of high school left, and as I attend classical high school, the emphasised fields of study for me are Latin and Greek, which I am somehow expected to continue to study at university (alongside literature, or history of art) - I am afraid that over the course of the years of my formal education I have been indoctrinated into classics so much that... once a classicist, I shall probably always remain one.

    I'm studying Buddhism and chess mostly. Biographies, philosophy, prose or something, but I haven't been reading so much lately. Need to do more. I love having good study habits, you feel so much smarter.

    Civil engineering.
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Yes, English linguistics.

    I wish I could do some cultural studies after this.
