From the Pro Vice Chancellor of UoB, the report from the Periodic Review, Jan 2023;

Arts Degrees;

"The staff were commended by the panel for the student representatives’ very clear articulation of the excellent and transformative experience that the course had given them. It was a wonderful example of working closely with small cohorts of students in a close-knit team with dedicated staff and technicians. Student engagement was very apparent. There is very good interdisciplinary overlap with all areas of the curriculum and the team worked in partnership with students to decolonize the curriculum and bring it in line with current global priorities. "

Thanks to all our students who took part in the important project!
