My time as a student of American Studies at Keele University has been extremely enjoyable.

I have just completed my first year in EALS (English and American Literature) and have loved it! Before I came to Keele I had all the usual questions buzzing round my head – Have I chosen the right course?

Unlike the English &... courses offered by Keele, English & American Literatures is the only one which allows you to concentrate wholly on studying literature. Thus, at Keele it is unique.

In my first year as a student on the EALs course I have found that the course is a close knit group. The small size means that students quickly get to know each other and makes settling in very easy, it also means that there are a high number of lecturers to students. They are regularly available to provide help and both they and the administrative staff are very friendly.

I am a third year EALs (that’s English and American Literature) student. As this is a small course, with a lot of time spent with the same group of people, you get to know everyone on it very quickly. Because of the size of the course there are less students per tutor – so more interaction with the members of staffs and a good student-tutor relationship.

I have mostly loved the variety available in American Studies, in my first year I have learnt about American history, politics, literature, music and more, and have developed an understanding of America as a place and culture and gained insight into a country that is often mis-portrayed in
the media.

When I started my American Studies degree I was told that the department was proud of its commitment to pastoral care, and during my three years at Keele the support that’s been offered has been brilliant.
