THE UNIVERSITY
In
Almerķa we have a campus where there are a lot of buildings with classrooms,
three coffee bars, two restaurants, the library, a snack shop, a hairdresser's,
a driving school, a tobacconist's, some stacioner's... even more of what a
student needs.
There
are some areas to study, but also some areas to have a rest lying on the grass
when it is sunny, and here you can speak with your friends or even study too. We
have the beach very near, just in front of the University, so we can see the sea
from our classrooms.
There
are very big classrooms because there are some courses in which study a lot of
people. We have some computer classrooms with very modern computers.
In
Almerķa there are over twenty degrees in the University, such as: Business, Enviromental
Sciencies, English, Spanish, Engineering, Laws, Computer Sciencies, studies to
be a Teacher of Music, Sports... Each of these degrees is about three or five
years.
Our
degree of English is a four year one, and then we can be English teachers in a
High School, work in a firm as a translator, or can study a bit more to be a
University teacher. In English we have most of the subjects spoken in English,
subjects such as: English Literature, American Literature, History of the
English Language, History of
English Spoken Countries, Spanish Language, English Language...
We
have around eleven subjects per year, but we have the course divided in two
parts: from October to February, then we have some exams, and from March to June,
then we have the other exams, and then some Summer holidays.
In Almerķa most of us live with their parents because the Universiti is not very far from the capital, only about twenty minutes.
