I enjoy meeting prospective students and their families at open days and information evenings and encouraging them to follow their interests in arts-based subjects. My message to them is, ‘Do what you love, and you’ll be surprised at the opportunities that will present themselves to you’.

We need people who understand things from a humanities perspective, plus those people who can generate new technologies.
