Campus Director Aruna Verma works in close partnership with our academic and support staff to ensure the on-campus experience of our students, staff and visitors is a safe, welcoming and inclusive one.
Our academic staff are dedicated to bringing their real-life experiences in practice into the classroom, providing students with genuine insights into the subject matter studied on our courses. Each of our students are assigned an academic coach and have regular one-to-one meetings where they can get advice on their course and on their career aspirations. Our lecturers operate an ‘open door’ policy, so students can talk to them whenever they need to.
