March 2013 | Alumni Profiles

A splendid and diverse range of alumni this month. Can we tempt you with an ex-gladiator, an award winning photographer and a Barcelona based teacher training entrepreneur. I think we can.

We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.

Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.
