STAFF VIEW

STUDENT VIEWAileen Belle (Level 2 Student)

Paul Hardwick (English staff)

“My first year has been amazing. Work was set out at a good pace, I was able to approach my tutors at any time about anything and they were more than happy to help. It is important to attend the introductory sessions, particularly for IT and the library, as you will need this information right from the start.”

“With modes of communication changing so rapidly and, in turn, posing new questions about our cultural identities, it is a particularly fascinating time to be exploring English and Media. We look forward to sharing that exploration with you.”
