A top class school, in a world leading Russell Group University, based in a student friendly, dynamic, vibrant city. The School has a brilliant culture, which was obvious from my time on the open day. Approachable and friendly staff are key to your student/learning experience at university and was nowhere more apparent than here. This is a running theme from your first day until your last - and even after you leave.
