Testimonials

from lectures, workshops, talks

I absolutely loved the lecture contents and genuinely looked forward to them. I went home and wouldn’t stop talking about what I had learnt! My favourite of the term. Thank you!

Undergraduate student, University of Reading

The tutor was hugely knowledgeable AND knew how to impart that knowledge in a way that was at once accessible and not dumbed down. I enjoyed every moment of the day.

Workshop participant, Oxford University Department for Continuing Education

Very engaging!

This was a brilliant course.

Very practical, worth every minute!
