Many of our staff have abundant experience teaching students from different countries and diverse backgrounds. Our staff continue to sharpen their skills by engaging in professional development, including attaining membership into the UK’s Higher Education Academy (HEA), through an accredited postgraduate programme.

Staff aim to create an interactive class environment in which students take charge of their own learning and develop as independent thinkers. They also offer one-on-one supervision, working closely with students while they write their Final Year Project or MSc dissertation, and helping them with applications for further studies or jobs.
