Studying Storytelling at Loughborough made me realise how much I love this field and how much potential it has beyond traditional forms of storytelling.

In the future, I hope to pursue doctoral research exploring how storytelling can be applied across different disciplines, particularly in relation to environmental protection and sustainability.

I believe that stories have a unique ability to make complex issues more personal and emotionally meaningful. When people connect with an issue through a story, they may be more likely to reflect on their own experiences and feel motivated to take action.

My time at Loughborough gave me both the creative confidence and the research foundations to explore these possibilities further. It also helped me see storytelling not simply as a way of communicating ideas, but as a powerful tool for encouraging understanding, empathy, and positive change.

If you’re thinking of studying this course, don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild. Even if your ideas seem unusual or ambitious, give yourself the freedom to explore them and the courage to bring them to life.

Storytelling is a space where creativity has no fixed boundaries, and sometimes the most unexpected ideas become the most meaningful ones. Believe in your stories, and don't be afraid to share them with the world.

Our stories can give us a voice.
