The Summer Research Placement influenced my future studies - it introduced me to a new field of study (in my case fairy tale literature) and helped me to build my academic interest in this field.
This research experience also helped me gain self-confidence in academic research and promoted me to apply to postgraduate studies in children’s literature.
