Resume - English language student

Postby katgerms » Sat Jan 15, 2022 5:16 pm

Hi! I am a student of English language at the university. How can I name myself in the resume? When I write "english studies student" it sound wrong. Should I use English language student? Or just English student? What sounds the most natural?
Thanks for the answers!

Are you just learning the English language? Or is your degree in English literature?

I studied German at University. On a resume I might have said “student of German language and literature.” That sounds better to me than “German language and literature student.”
