School of Arts Undergraduate Lectures
The School of Arts believes that coming to university should be about more than just studying for credit. So if you fancy going along to a lecture on an a School of Arts module you've not signed up to purely for your own interest, you're quite welcome providing that there's a space for you in the lecture theatre. In order to encourage you to do so, there will be a list of School of Arts lectures posted here which are open to any student in the school who would like to attend.
