The Campus Director 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 lecturers are dedicated to bringing their real-life experience in practice into the classroom, providing our students with genuine insight into the subject matter. Each of our students are assigned an academic coach and have regular one-to-one meetings where they can get advice on the course and career aspirations. As lecturers are based in our campuses they operate an ‘open door’ policy, so students can talk to them whenever they need to.
