Hear from English and Creative Writing student Olympia, who shares her favourite things about studying at Keele.
English is about finding an idea that you're obsessed with, being able to share that and being able to turn that into something creative.
I chose to do English and Creative Writing at Keele because of the content that really kind of aligned with my own interests. I got to explore a lot of stuff that I really enjoy. For example, romantic literature and some Gothic literature.
Humanities lecturers are so lovely. They are always there to help out. They’re so passionate about their subjects and it really kind of transfers over to their classes.
A highlight of my degree is being published in the Keele Anthology. It's an anthology of poetry and of short stories and scripts the Keele Humanities Department puts into a book and I’m really, really proud that I got published this year.
My editing and writing skills that I've gained on the course has really prepared me for a future in novel writing and screen and stage writing.
