Read the welcome from your Head of School

As the Head of School, I’d like to welcome you to our academic community and wish you many congratulations for the achievements that brought you with us. For some of you, this may be a return to the School of Languages, Arts and Societies, or to Sheffield, and, for others this might be a completely new experience in a new department, in a new university, city and country. In all cases, we are really looking forward to welcoming you. My colleagues and I are here to help, so please do get in touch if you have any queries or questions over the coming weeks. I wish you an excellent time with us, and look forward to seeing you soon.
