In a year quite unlike any other, we wanted to acknowledge how fantastically resilient our students have all been throughout an extremely difficult time.
To recognise this strength our students have all shown, our Student Experience team asked Arts and Humanities students to nominate their ‘hero’. They were thrilled to receive so many positive and inspiring nominations – we hope these bring you a little piece of joy and a reminder that hope can always be found, even in the toughest times.

I am truly thankful for all that she has done to help me through my degree and the belief that she has given me, I could not thank her enough, she is my hero!”
