    BA English; PhilosophyThe University of Liverpool
     - Liverpool, United Kingdom
    The study of literature and philosophy was incredibly beneficial in enhancing my confidence in analysis and close reading. The nature of my examinations were varied: written exams, coursework and presentations. Practicing these gave me a rounded view of how I portray myself both in person and on paper, and highlighted areas for improvement, which I addressed accordingly. As a creative individual, the practices nurtured my talents whilst ensuring I exercised them in a productive way, making me improve my time management and planning.
