English and Creative Writing, BA Hons FullTime
The English department is quite small, but this is because there are not many students, in comparison to other courses like architecture that has over 200 students in lectures. The English staff are all incredible, especially Dr Calum Kerr. Because its small, lectures are always put in random old buildings, instead of being given a nice modern English building which would be nice.

I have a bone to pick with the old ways, therefore what someone else would view as very good quality teaching and course content, or value for money would be different to me. I value progress, new ideas, and change, but often I felt I was marked down for attempting to explore this route. I felt I was rewarded for regurgitating ideas others had already said, and not necessarily praised and acknowledged for trying something new, or being daring. There is also the fact that the old ways doesn't mean the good ways. I think it's wrong to expect a mental breakdown while writing your dissertation, but while we stick to the old ways, we force students to have to fit a mould that isn't necessarily their shape, and what value they could bring with their individual voice, style, and experience is lost. Other than that, the lecturers and course were of a very good quality. I enjoyed learning what they taught me - that's a good sign. I was also lucky with my tutor - they were supportive of my voice read more
