Study With Us

Currently the Department teaches approximately 550 students, including more than 200 graduate students of whom about half are on taught Masters' courses. The Department is an open, friendly and cosmopolitan place. 40% of our students come from outside the UK, and 30% of our undergraduates are mature students. The two essential characteristics of the Department which are invariably commented on favourably in student reviews of modules are its flexibility and friendliness. Textbooks written by departmental staff are used on modules the whole world over. To see what our students said about us in recent questionnaires, click on student surveys.
