Hey all!!! Well i've got a "word" question for you guys. Im studying in uni, and i took up another major this year and so im finishing all my studies at the end of 2009. Ie. finishing taking up units at semester 2 in 2009. Anyways im looking for an internship at a company and their requirement is that i must be a "penultimate student" at uni. So now, im graudating in Spring 2010, but im finishing all my studies at the end of 2009. So am i a penultimate student right now? Hope you guys could help me!!! Cheeers!!! :3 -sweat
If you are in the second or last year in uni, then you are a penultimate student. It will be a good direct transition from education to carreer. Good luck.
^thanks! So when u mean im in my second last year in uni, does that mean the units i take or from graduation? Cause i graduate in 2010 (my award ceremony) and if "penultimate" applies then im a penultimate student in 2009 then cause its the second last year b4 i finish. Or another situation would be, i finishing studying all my core units in semester 2 in 2009 which makes me a penultimate student now. Hmmm...im confused :3
To clarify, what qualifies you as a penultimate student is if you are second to last year of your studies. In other words second last year; just like if you are in the 3rd of 4th year in high school. I think you are a penultimate student now since you complete your studies in 2009.
penultimate just means one year before you graduate, if you graduate in 2010, then 2009 is your penultimate year.
