So what course are you studying?

Later that day, in the bar...

It’s really cool, a totallynew �eld, it didn’t even exist 10 years ago, I’m so excited...

... this is the only place you can study it. The researchershere are leaders in their�eld, the best in the world...

... I could get a great jobwhen I leave - or maybeI’ll become a researcher here myself! That would be amazing...

I’d better pick upmy timetable for the week - and �t in time for research & writing essays.

... and pick up my lecture handouts at thesame time so I can look them overin advance.
