“In the future I hope to continue working in academia, either as a Lecturer or part of a student services team. I was inspired by the Literature lecturers at York St John to consider teaching at university because their passion and knowledge is all I could ever want from a career.”
Emily is currently studying a Masters in Literature at Leeds University.
Writing my dissertation on Psychoanalysis and children’s literature was the hardest but most rewarding thing I’ve done, and I will be eternally grateful to the lecturers that helped me during that time. I left the university with massive amounts of pride, self-confidence and passion for learning. I wouldn’t change my time there for the world and if I could do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat.
