From: Gus Dinn Director of Learning and Student Support There's never been a better time to study with the Department of Museum Studies at Leicester. Our world-class reputation has been given a further boost in the recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) with the Department being rated as having the 'greatest cluster of world-leading researchers of any discipline in any university in the UK' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7788718.stm . The University was also recently recognised as the Times Higher Education University of the Year 2008-9. I would like to extend a warm invitation to you for our annual Open Day and Evening on **Wednesday 18 February 2009**.
