11. Finally Make the most of your time here
If you are fulltime, treat your studies like a fulltime job, 40 hours per week: read, read & read some more, but also engage with researchers in the Faculty to bring those words of the page/screen to life
All colleagues share a commitment to enthusing you and exciting you about analysing the high class research that we are undertaking in the Faculty to better understand the arts and humanities world
So keep talking to us, telling us what we are doing well and letting us know what we can do better
Good luck!
