    English Literature and Drama Studies
     - 
    In English Literature, I studied a wide range of genres, from the Enlightenment to Post-Colonialism to Supernatural and Gothic literature. Took a special interest in Children's Literature, in which I completed a year-long module. In Drama Studies, I studied both the academic and physically creative sides of the field, studying Classical Asian Theatre alongside the art of clowning. Was accepted into Advanced Costume Design and Advanced Playwriting courses, exceling at both. Graduated with high 2.1 Honours
