But this year we showed that as well as being large we can also be popular with our students and deliver an experience that is seen by the vast majority as good. It is a fantastic team effort by a large number of people who believe in what they do and want to be the best. To get student appreciation is the greatest accolade of them all," says Professor Mark Woolford, Associate Dean for Education.
