I was in the first year to pay £9k and I chose to do English lit because I love it, rather than what I would do with the degree afterwards. I couldn’t be happier with where it’s taken me — professionally AND personally

Brag time but the end of the year always makes me kinda glum so I’m reflecting on how much I’ve achieved this year: got my PhD, moved to two new cities, took up my first lecturer posts, published my first article, won a fellowship, had a lot of fun, made a lot of new friends
