"Linger awhile! So fair thou art!"

«Остановись, мгновенье! Ты прекрасно!», - сказал небезызвестный герой в трагедии Гёте. Вот и нам, студентам 1 курса магистерской программы «Прикладная лингвистика и текстовая аналитика», трудно представить, что уже закончился 2020 год.

"Linger awhile! So fair thou art!" was said by the famous Goethe's character. No less difficult it is for the first year ALaTA students to realize that the first academic semester has already ended - together with 2020.

This period of time was by and large eventful, full of pleasant and very pleasant events. The acquaintance with the university and classmates was quite successful. Of course, it was not that easy at times as we had to learn and do a lot in a short time. But the past difficulties make us feel much happier and freer now that all the exams are passed and all the classmates are nearby. The only thing left to do is to share the fun and happy moments together.

Our academic group would like to thank Merkulova Edita Nikolaevna, the academic supervisor of the programme, and all the professors for not only sharing their knowledge with us but also providing constant support throughout the first two academic modules.

Some of the students would also like to share their first impressions about the programme.

 

Chigrinova A.

 

“I was very motivated by the fact that we began to learn the basics of programming and apply knowledge to solve problems from the first day. The skills acquired in one semester proved to be enough not only to feel confident while coding in one of the most popular programming languages, but also to continue in-depth study. Even now I can already try my hand at various IT-spheres and look for my own way.”

Mukhina O.

 

“I really enjoyed learning online: it is much easier to perceive the material. However, there are more home assignments and we should not forget to remind our professors about breaks…”

Yashina V.

 

“I'm very pleased with the studies. In addition, thanks to the fact that the classes are conducted in English, I'm able to practice and improve my language skills.” 

Zuzyaev Y.

 

“I personally liked the fact that the programme combines humanities with programming really competently, so my expectations are justified so far. The only hard thing is to study 5 days a week after 9 hours of work.”

Ermolaeva O.

 

“I would like to point out the intension of the programme. In just two modules, we have gained a large amount of knowledge and new skills that can be applied in practice.”

Olivier Mozard Tiotsop Kamou

 

 “Applied Linguistics and Text Analytics is exactly the kind of program I always dreamed to study. In fact, it’s even beyond my expectations because we have courses in Programming and Data Science and this is mostly what surprised me about the program". 


Also, all our teachers are absolutely awesome. I am so satisfied with this program that I don’t regret my choice.
