“I had always had an interest in Art History and found Kingston to have very understanding lecturers which drew me to the University.  I like the variety of subjects on offer here and have enjoyed the campus atmosphere immensely; it always feels alive, moving, thinking and, above all, creative.

"As a dyslexic student at Kingston I have been impressed with the dedication my tutors have shown. The staff on the course are very understanding and happy to help with any problems or queries.   I have found my lecturers enthusiastic, knowledgeable and accommodating.

"During my time at Kingston, I have become involved with the Students’ Union. I am the campus representative and also the second year representative for my course and its parallel course of Visual and Material Culture. In addition to this, I work at the Students' Union bar. So far I have really enjoyed all this, particularly the bar’s atmosphere and just how much fun it can be.

"I haven’t yet totally decided what my long-term ambitions are, but this course is definitely helping me decide what direction I would like to go in.”
