Having previously studied at Loughborough University for my degree in Fine Art and my MA Art in the Public Sphere, I am familiar with the friendly staff and technicians. I have found all the staff, from admin to technical tutors and lecturers, supportive and encouraging; their help and support has been crucial and invaluable. It was my MA lecturers' trust in me and my ability that finally persuaded me that I could attempt a PhD. I received a scholarship in 2015 from Loughborough University to fund the PhD research.
