Health and safety will be aligned with stimulating teaching and learning environments, designed to meet disciplinary demands and to provide access for all.

Each of our Schools will therefore be using a specific blend of on campus and virtual teaching modes to give you the best experience. To make the most of this you are encouraged to get involved in as many activities as you can and to take every opportunity to communicate with us.

Welcome to all postgraduate students joining our taught programmes this September. We very much look forward to having you with us and to encouraging you in your passion for your chosen discipline.
