Runyi Yao

Runyi Yao graduated in 2022 from Regent’s Park College with an MPhil in Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics.

She participated in the Centre for Teaching and Learning's Student Experience Internship Scheme during the summer 2022, working on a project to gather information on students’ access to services which support the development of their academic literacies across the collegiate University.

She holds bachelor’s degrees in Chinese Language and Literature and in History from Jilin University, China.

After completing her internship, Runyi will begin her DPhil in Linguistics Philology and Phonetics, specializing in psycholinguistics.

In her spare time, Runyi enjoys films, travelling and dancing. 

I really appreciate the idea of this internship project that the university staff and students collaborate to develop resources and policies to help support student academic transitions. I am keen to bring my understanding of international students’ experiences to the project.
