I have thoroughly enjoyed the optional modules I have chosen. They are structured as intensive workshops and the material and lectures are very rich and interesting. They cater towards specific research interests, which is exactly what I needed as a young researcher.
As I have been awarded an ESRC studentship, my dream is to have a career in academia and I'm happy that I have been given this opportunity from Loughborough University and the Midlands Graduate School (MGS). This has been a life-long aspiration really.
