We’re currently seeking to appoint a new Head of Interdisciplinary Studies to lead an innovative and highly creative department that houses a wide range of courses including BA Educational Psychology, PGCert Coaching and Mentoring and the MA Inclusive Practice as well as our large postgraduate research provision.
