hey guys welcome back to my channel today we're going to be going over what a masters is actually like

and my experience of it so far

if you haven't already please like the video

and subscribe to my channel i'm going to be posting

so much more uni content especially revolving masters

so make sure you follow to get more up-to-date videos and yeah and also comment if you have any video suggestions

because I love to hear your feedback.

So I'm going to start off with the course

and what the master's course actually sort of entails and what the step up is kind of like from undergrad.

Little disclaimer that obviously this is based off my own personal experience

and obviously this might be different for different universities and different undergrads going to different postgrad degrees.

So in general I found the step up quite considerable.

I think it's probably I'd compare it to the step up

from first to second year I think that's a pretty big step to be honest I thought

that was a big step in my undergrad

and I'd describe this as very similar

because it's just sort of like a different way of working it's a different level of expectation

that I don't necessarily think we're always prepped for

but it is definitely a big step up I found

that the course is more academic they use more complex theories

which obviously is expected and however like some of these things

that we're doing is like very very complicated

and um I do find like I have to spend quite

a bit more time than I did in my undergrad to understand things it's obviously more academically based

and I think they're almost like trying to prep us to maybe do a PhD

so we do have like quite a lot of intense things about like how to do dissertation

and um how to like conduct market research

which I think is helpful however I really am not doing the whole dissertation route side things

so I'm actually managing to cop out of it by doing a study abroad for three months instead

which I'm really really excited to do

because I get to go to the screen here but yeah

if you're doing a dissertation this is actually quite helpful just I don't feel like I massively need it

and I do find it a little bit boring but it's okay.

In terms of the workload now let me tell you it feels like there is

so much more work

and I don't think as I say it's like kind of

more complex um the material like sort of harder to understand

and as I said I do spend a bit more time

like trying to get to grips with like what is actually sort of happening

but there's also like so much more work set

and I'm trying to work out whether that's because it's a masters

or whether it's because my uni is doing hybrid learning

so I'm just going to run through a structure of sort

of like for one module what I would be expected to do

so we have this thing called on demand

which is sort of like prep material for the theme of the week

and normally we'd have two to three videos on this each

half an hour we'd have to go through those write our notes from them

and then we've got two activities

that we need to do after this often involves like academic reading

or reading certain articles or case studies or things like that and then answering some questions on them.

After this I would then go to a lecture.

This lecture is normally in person which is really really great.

It often is between one to two hours.

Again different sort of material so it's not the same slides but it's along the same sort of theme for the week.

Again this is really helpful but

if I miss a lecture then it's kind of a pain to catch up

because they don't always puts the lecture slides up

which is slightly annoying then we'll end up having a seminar

online this is normally on zoom i do find like the zoom seminars just a bit weird

because i feel like people just don't engage as much

and it's not as great to be perfectly honest i definitely prefer in-person things

and i think this is very much shown through the fact

that when i go to my tutorials there is

so much more engagement people are so much more with it

and everyone's actually trying to contribute

so yeah as i say i don't love the online stuff i don't think it's the most helpful

because I don't feel as engaged

but the tutorials as they say are very very helpful you get one-to-ones with your lecturer

and they can like really help you understand like certain things very very helpful for answering certain questions

so I do find that very very helpful.

In terms of the assignments I would say they're very similar

to my undergrad I think a lot of like the reports

and things that i have to do i did business as my undergrad

and i'm doing digital marketing as my postgrad

so i feel like the assignments are very similar they're kind

of report based there's group works there's individual work um

and i would say that it's structured in almost a very similar very similar way

but there is just a lot more of them i think I've got seven assignments due in January

or something it's just gonna be ridiculous I'm literally just gonna be working all throughout Christmas

which is a bit of a bummer

because I have no exams I think I'm gonna end up

having two weeks off after um including my reading week

and then semester two will start

so what is being a master's student actually like um I've actually found it really nice

because I've made a lot of new friends I did actually

even though I did my undergrad here at Surrey I went on to my master's course

and I didn't know anyone because for some reason nobody went

and did a master's for some reason nobody's decided to go on to the course

that I'm doing and so I had to make new friends

and that was really nice because I've got a lot of new friends from different universities

which was really really nice they've all come from very different places

and we've all just come to one in Surrey

and I really really love that everyone's so friendly I find

that there's a lot of potentially older people on the course

there's a lot of people who are maybe sponsored by their company to come

which is very interesting I think

that the level of engagement is definitely a lot higher I

think the level of intelligence is a lot higher there's a lot of people willing to contribute

100

and engage with the lecture which I actually found so helpful

101

and so refreshing because my undergrad I feel like people just sort of sat there

102

and slept so it's really nice to actually feel like people are really interested in the subject

103

and it makes you more interested in the subject

104

and want to get involved I'd say my course is very international as well which is really amazing.

105

You get people from like all over the globe.

106

It's so cool.

107

I was in group works with people from like China.

108

There's a lot of, there's a high percentage of people from India.

109

I've got a really lovely friend from Cyprus.

110

So there's just a whole range of different people that you meet

111

and I love meeting people from different countries and different cultures

112

so I think that that's again a really exciting experience on the side of the Masters.

113

I'd say the only downside to doing the Masters is the fact that I am just going out so much less, I have so much less time to be social and go out,

114

I try to limit myself so that I only go out on Wednesday night

115

which is the sports night because obviously I'm a sporty person so I prefer to do that.

116

Wednesdays are also the main night at Surrey so it's really nice to go out and see like everyone that I know, have a bit of a break from work and then just immediately get back to it.

117

My problem that I think I've found with being a master student is I am growing older

118

and my tolerance is just not what it was used to be

119

so I find on a Thursday I'm just completely wiped out, I am hungover, I am dead for the entire day.

120

Luckily all my lectures are online that day but it does mean

121

that I feel like I'm just really unproductive on a Thursday.

122

So I really, really try to cut down on my drinking and not drink too much, not get so hammered every single time.

123

And then, yeah, as I say, try and limit myself to once or twice a week

124

because otherwise if I went out as much as I did in the first year, I would never, ever get any work done.

125

I'd be so behind.

126

Anyway, guys, that's just sort of a quick little overview of how I'm finding my masters at at the moment.

127

It is busy, it is quite stressful, you do need to be organised.

128

I really do enjoy it, I think it's great but it is a lot more work than I was expecting.

129

I think it's going to be a really good thing to have done though, I think it's a very employable thing at the moment especially with there being very limited grad jobs

130

and a lot of undergrads so I'm very excited to have a postgrad degree as well

131

which will be a really great thing on my CV.

132

If you have any more questions about doing the Masters then do leave them down below, I will try and get back to you on those and If you have also any video recommendations or suggestions,

133

then also let me know those.

134

Those are great.

この動画は誰におすすめ？

大学院生の生活に興味がある人や、英語での学術的な会話を練習したい人にぴったりです。特に、英語スピーキング練習に取り組んでいる中級者向けで、日常的な会話だけでなく、学術用語や複雑な内容を話す際のリズムを身につけたい人におすすめです。動画の中で話されている体験談はリアルで親しみやすいので、shadow speak（シャドーイング）の素材としても最適です。

覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム

cop out of：「～を逃げる」「回避する」。例："I'm managing to cop out of it by doing a study abroad"（留学をすることでそれを逃げている）。
get to grips with：「～を理解する」「～に慣れる」。例："spend a bit more time trying to get to grips with what is actually happening"（実際に何が起こっているのか理解するためにもっと時間をかける）。
step up：「レベルアップ」「ステップアップ」。例："the step up from undergrad"（学部からのレベルアップ）。

これらのフレーズは日常会話や学術的な場でも使えるので、shadowspeakの際に繰り返し練習してみてください。

発音を上達させるコツ

この動画のスピーカーは自然なイントネーションで話していますが、特に注意すべき点は弱読みです。例えば、"I think it's probably"の"it's"は軽く発音され、"probably"の"b"はほとんど聞こえないようになっています。また、"a bit more time"の"a"は"uh"という音になっています。英語の発音を良くするためには、これらの弱読みやリズムをシャドーイングで真似ることが重要です。動画をゆっくり再生しながら、口の形や息の使い方も注意して練習してみてください。

このように、動画で英語学習することで、リアルな会話の流れや発音、フレーズを効率的に身につけることができます。ぜひシャドーイングを試して、スピーキング力を向上させましょう！

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型	動画での表現
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる	is based · is expected · would be expected
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している	I've actually found · I've made · I've found

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
