Jason Ross (USA)
MA Intercultural Communication, 2010

"I chose the MA in Intercultural Communication as I wanted to study outside of the US and study different cultures and how they interact. I also knew getting an MA would increase my chances of teaching in an Asian university. I now teach English in an elementary school in Seoul, Korea which I hope will lead to a teaching position in a university. Being in a class room with many different nationalities was a good way of studying Intercultural Communication from both a hands-on and theoretical perspective."

MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2009

"This course has had an immense impact on my future career both as a researcher and teacher. It has broadened my horizons and acted as a springboard for my further graduate studies, which involve an MPhil and probably progression to a PhD.

It has been a journey of self discovery and betterment. The course provided me with an opportunity to challenge and expand my abilities, interests and visions. It has made me become a multi-tasking, autonomous and all the more confident and ambitious individual.

My overall experience at Anglia Ruskin University has been extremely positive and beneficial. I fulfilled my aim of delving into SLA, I came together with inspirational people (teachers and colleagues) and have always been met with support and a smile by the administrative staff."

MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2010

"To be accepted by two conferences as a speaker was not something I expected before I started this course. When I look back at my studies in the last two years, what I clearly see is that I would not be able to come to this point without the knowledge the course has given me and without my supervisor's help and feedback. Choosing this course was one of the best decisions I took for my career.

Because the staff were so competent in their field I did not have any limitations or rejections for the topics I chose to work on, and with each assignment I was fed with the guidance and information I needed from my course leader throughout the writing process."
