Presenting to young people

Claire Bursnoll"Coming from the construction industry to academia has been quite a change, and preparing our students for working life in construction is a challenge I welcome. I see the great potential of Kingston University; by embracing the diversity of our student intake, and giving them firm direction and self-belief through appropriate support, we can produce great construction professionals of the future."
