Elia Rully

When I chose to take time out from music in order to follow and explore my late discovered passion for literature I was concerned to do so in an environment that encouraged me, especially as this was to be my first real experience of academia, to evolve in the most authentic and individual way. Goldsmiths seemed the obvious choice and I was not disappointed. I was supported and affirmed in following my interests while being guided and challenged to excel academically. In addition to the often exhilarating seminars and class discussions, I made the most of my access to the tutors and became a regular (sometimes expected) face during many of their office hours. My curiosity and eagerness was invariably encouraged and reciprocated and these interactions often sent me exploring even further.

The tangible artistic ethos of Goldsmiths made me feel comfortable and throughout my BA I was confident I was in the right place. I am now back at Goldsmiths studying for the MA in Creative and Life Writing.

Elia finished his BA in with a first-class degree in 2020 and is now studying MA Creative and Life Writing
