Here's your monthly recap for May. From championing women's voices in music at The F-List Conference, to Drama students presenting at Pineapple Studios in London, it's been a busy time!
New 2027 Prospectus
2027 Prospectus …ground breaking. As seen in 'Runway', the hottest new accessory this Spring is our brand new Undergraduate Prospectus.
Our Vice Principal Patsy channelled her inner Miranda, for our Devil Wears Prada-inspired parody, to give you a sneak peak of our 2027 Undergraduate Prospectus.
