Studying English Literature at Durham is an amazing experience. The Department is incredibly welcoming and supportive, offering a variety of opportunities during Induction week and beyond to help the transition into degree-level learning. I enjoy studying in such a vibrant environment like Durham, with events around the city and in different colleges adding to the wider student experience. The best advice I have been given over the course of my degree is to be bold — pick a module that may be challenging, or join a society you may be unsure of. Through these I have made some incredible friendships. Durham is a stunning place, and I hope you enjoy all that the English Department has to offer!
