I didn’t appreciate how much that degree would open my eyes. My reading options were endless and the support was phenomenal.

Although she has been making music for herself since the age of 10, Ray BLK’s only music training came in the form of opera-singing lessons during a short scholarship programme at Brunel.
The curriculum of the course I chose was quite liberal, modern and transcultural and the lecturers were renowned professors from around the world
