Q&A with Jasmine Corinne Yang
Jasmine Corinne Yang is a Communications BA student, class of 2028.
Why did you choose your degree at UCL?
I’ve been doing media-related work throughout high school, so I initially planned to pursue something similar at university. I decided to choose a multidisciplinary degree that is still interconnected with media to expand my knowledge, explore new fields and keep my options open. I was also drawn to London for its artistic vibe! The city is vibrant and full of creative energy.
What are your course highlights?
Studying this degree is highly engaging as it encourages active participation rather than passive learning. Much of the content is relatable to what we see and produce in everyday life which makes learning feel meaningful. There are always the bingo moments when I realise that my own creative approach aligns with the theories or concepts we study.
As the first cohort of Communications students at UCL, I see how the course has been flexible and responsive, evolving throughout the year in a way that makes the experience dynamic and enjoyable!
What do you do when you’re not studying?
I do so much! I joined two productions at Art UCL – one is ‘The Reclamation’, a theatre festival for minorities, and the musical production ‘tick, tick… BOOM!’ I’ve met so many people from different majors and years, which is super fun.
Recently, I’ve gotten interested in investment banking, so I’ve been combining the course catalogue and books from the library to self-study, which is really cool! It’s super useful as a guideline for beginners like me.
