ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

We set high academic standards, because we believe in your capabilities – so prepare to be stretched.

With small class sizes (roughly students), our enthusiastic, energetic and well-qualified specialist lecturers are dedicated to promoting excellence within their subjects.

We place an emphasis on independent learning, alongside providing close support for each and every student. This independence is developed by tutors in class and complemented by the Advanced Electives programme.

“This is a university that gradually – and with ‘a deliberate strategy’ – has lifted its academic game.”

The Good Universities Guide

Moving beyond the boundaries of the prescribed Honours syllabus, there’s a significant programme of academic activities outside the lecture theatre to bring greater breadth and depth to each topic.

We’ll encourage you to complete an extend project to increase enjoyment of your subject and to enhance your university application.

There’s an additional programme of academic activities to fuel your ambitions, with departmental societies, speakers and events catering for every interest and enthusiasm.

Of course, you’ll be allocated your own tutor to guide and support you through these two challenging and rewarding years of study. Tutors also act as academic advisors and will help with UCAs applications, career guidance and all pastoral and academic matter.
