I chose Loughborough due to a combination of the course and the campus. The English course offered me the opportunity to select areas of interest to pursue, whilst gaining a broader understanding of literary trends and concepts. The campus also felt like a welcoming and fun place when I visited.

The lecturers make the course, they are experts in their field and seem to be very passionate about the subject. Although the department is relatively small, it is very supportive and still offers a broad range of modules that can make for a either a varied or specific degree. The teaching quality is excellent, lectures are both encouraging and approachable. The library and resources have never been an issue in my studies. I’ve always found all of my lecturers supportive. The personal tutor system works well for students to have a clear point of contact and support.
