In my second year I was studying a module on politics and society in 20th and 21st-century America. I wrote an essay on how female pop artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have advocated women’s empowerment. It goes to show just how vast the subject of history is.
I chose York because it’s a Russell Group university, the campus is really pretty, and it was one of the universities that did joint honours in English and History. That was important to me as I really wanted to do both subjects.
