I am currently studying Gàidhlig and linguistics and I will hopefully go into a field developing languages in the community. I am a big supporter of the development of Gàidhlig and Scots in Scotland. I am also a big football fan. I am from rural Scotland and enjoy the city life and the country life.
Kamila
University of Essex
Speech and Language Therapy
Hello :) my name is Kamila, and I am a second year master's student at the University of Essex, studying Speech and language Therapy. I come from Slovakia, however I completed my secondary education here in the UK. During my undergraduate studies in BA English Linguistics, I have been introduced to the module of clinical linguistics, in which I learnt about speech and language therapy. Since then I have been determined to become a paediatric speech and language therapist, as it will allow me to help and advocate for children with speech and language difficulties. My particular interest is in bilingual and multilingual children. I am enjoying my course, as I am able to learn many new skills, and put them into practice during various placements.
I believe that the social life at Essex exceeds most universities in the UK. Thanks to its diversity, you will be able to join various societies depending on your hobbies and interests. This year, I am a vice-president of the Speech and Language Therapy Society. As a society we offer a variety of events, including guest speakers, revision sessions, social events, and our favourite annual summer ball! I am also a member of the Essex Blades Dance competition team, and I am really looking forward to the upcoming competition season.
If you have any questions about life at Essex, Speech and Language Therapy course, or any of the societies, do not hesitate to reach out! :)
