I had a lot of support from the English department, all the lecturers were friendly and approachable. I was comfortable with speaking to my lecturers about personal and academic problems. I have arthritis and the university were great about it, I was given a room that catered for my needs, it was ground floor, close to my lecture rooms and I was provided with a fridge for my medication. Moving to university two hours away from home was scary enough, knowing a I had a disability made it harder, Loughborough university provided me with everything I needed to make it easier. My lecturers were understanding and sent me PowerPoints and work in advance to help with typing and writing, so I could keep up with the pace of the lectures and seminars. All these things made my experience so much easier, and I am grateful they were able to do this.

I hope to go into the publishing industry, my degree has equipped me with key skills, both specific to English, such as writing, editing as well as skills needed in everyday life and in a workplace like organisation and communication.

I enjoyed everything about my course and wish I could do it all over again. The 100% coursework element was a great part of it, I found exams very stressful, and this gave me a chance to showcase my skills in a calmer more controlled environment. The modules are great and there is something for everyone and even the ones you may be worried about initially, you will end up enjoying, the lecturers are very good at making material interesting and you will always learn something new. The dissertation is also something to look forward to, to use all the skills you obtain in the three years and create your own project start to finish.
