Why join our School?

The School has attracted outstanding teachers and researchers, as well as having high-profile visiting professors and practitioners.

All our teaching is research-led, and we hold fast to our commitment that our higher education is about students working directly in tutorials or small groups with leading academics and sometimes practitioners in their fields of study.

The School is extremely proud of its graduates, many of whom have gone on to hold high profile positions in private and public organisations in the UK, in Europe, and internationally.
