"Karen is the linchpin of the School, without her and her IT team, I am convinced the School would fall apart. She is a gold standard employee and the University must never let her go."

"Sarah’s contribution to academic life has been her unwavering compassion and kindness as a supervisor. She is an inspirational educator who has supported countless students through their postgraduate studies."

"This is the first time we have had the opportunity to do a course that is truly cross-disciplinary. It is the only course I have taken which includes a wide range of students from all over the art school, including visiting students. The discussion in seminars is always lively and there has also been a refreshing amount of content about gender and race relations."

"Kate is fully supportive of all her pupils, taking time to get to know each and every one of us. She strikes the perfect balance between offering knowledge and help and encouraging us to puzzle things out for ourselves."

"Adam’s teaching is legendary and his courses are consistently popular. Students experience rich, well thought-out teaching; as an active researcher and an expert in his field, Adam’s enthusiasm brings his subjects to life. He stands out from the crowd."

"Corinne has blown me away by not only the sheer extent of expert knowledge that she has been able to convey precisely and clearly but also the enthusiasm and excitement that she has for the subject. The teaching has been fluid, fresh and challenging."

"It is a challenging thing to make a 150+ seated lecture theatre of mixed-age, tired, unenthusiastic students feel re-enthused immediately after Christmas, but Jenna has done it from day one of our return."
