I was admitted by the ELS MA programme in 2013, and had spent an intense year with prominent professors and peer students. From different genres to a large-scale literary history, from critical approaches to creative writing, I was exposed to a wide range of literary knowledge. We are trained not only to appreciate literary works, but to appreciate them with observant eyes and a critical mind. It is this intellectually stimulating experience that ignited my passion to pursue a further adventure in the English Department. So here I am now, proudly continue the academic expedition in the MPhil programme.
