The Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Business comprises four schools, with substantial research excellence and an international reputation across the disciplines of english, creative writing, history, education, performing arts and music, digital arts, photography, curatorial practice, architecture, environmental building, supply chain management, accounting and Law. The School of Art Design & Architecture has a growing international profile, with collaborations across the Far East, South America and Europe. In all areas there is a fundamental commitment to practice-based working and supporting students to develop as independent critical thinkers and practitioners.
