“I was excited at the prospect of joining a university which is based in my home country and, at the same time, offers its students the learning standards found at the best universities in the world, such as the University of Cambridge, where I studied. I believe that, being taught by a faculty of professors who were educated at the world's leading schools, at a university that follows the highest academic standards, SSST graduates have a very bright future.”

“It is stimulating to be part of such a dynamic faculty, whose values and standards complement those I gained through my own education at Oxford University. Through the work and activities of the Department of English Academic Writing and the Institute for Language and Training, my colleagues and I aspire to help students acquire skills that are useful for both their academic and professional lives. I am constantly inspired by the many highly intelligent and bright young people at this forward looking institution, in this beautiful country.”
