Jamie Harrison
"MEL turned out to be a good way to bolster my MA application as well as a practical preparation for graduate study. But it was also enjoyable and worthwhile of itself." -
Harriet's story
"I learnt a lot about essay writing and about close reading. I’d never done that before: unpacking paragraphs and seeing other ways of reading books than as a straightforward form of entertainment, which was crucial before going on to the MA."
The MEL course has really been life-changing for me, and I had no idea that would happen when I signed up for it. Rediscovering academic study, falling in love with reading again and discovering texts I would never normally have come across, has all been an absolute joy. It’s also given me back confidence I'd lost and the opportunity to focus on something I feel passionate about. My hope now is to go on to complete an MA and then study for a PhD.
