To be successful, you must have the ambition and dedication to continue to support the continued growth of positive results and support our wider curriculum offer. Passionate about your specialism, you will recognise the importance and impact that these areas of the curriculum have on the global workforce and will support our students’ prospects by ensuring that they have the critical knowledge, skills, understanding and practical application that will serve them well beyond the curriculum, in their lives and in their careers.
Technology benefits from purpose-built, modern, fantastic facilities that provide a stimulating environment across all disciplines. We have resourced the area well with the equipment that serves our students well within all areas of their studies, and it is an environment staff and students are rightfully proud of. We strongly encourage you to visit and take a look.
