MEET SANYA

Join her as she takes us along on her Day in the Life.

Watch her study through her lectures, meet with students through PASS and her society dance class.

"The lecturers are enthusiastic and fun and really engage with their students. Small class sizes mean you get to know them and you really can just knock on their door”
“The modules include practical elements which are really hands-on and make me want to go to lectures.”
“The first year gave me a chance to explore all elements of the course and let me decide what I wanted to do for the rest of my degree”
