What We Go To School For

Fit lecturers are few and far between. Oh wait, no they’re not. We’ve got loads of them in Brum.

Herewith, The Tab’s top teaching totty:

His charming Irish accent, tendency to make adorably geeky law jokes in lectures and twinkling blue eyes make him the most loved (and fancied) man in the Law department. His office is regularly frequented by students who “need help,” but The Tab suspects they simply want to spend some one-on-one time with him.

The quintessential ‘boy next-door’, Jim Mussell is an English lecturer who is obsessed over throughout the department. Girls lust over him. Boys are jealous of the swooning he inspires in girls who loiter around him. His enthusiasm for English is infectious. Rumour has it, dissertations have been chosen on account of the subject matter being his speciality. Everyone wants to Mussell their way into his lectures.

We don’t know much about this mystery blonde, but judging by her picture, we’re pretty sure she plays on every Psychology student’s mind.

Ah Iain. What a ledge. The girls want to marry him; the boys want to go for a pint with him. His soothing Scottish accent and first-class wit is enough to melt your heart. Iain always has the best banter in lectures – so much so that non-philosophy students sometimes attend his lectures to witness the man in action. Our love for him is unlawful.

The Economics Department’s blonde bombshell. Suleymenova is the academic’s answer to Maria Sharapova. Gorgeous looks with a brain to back it up. A stunning smile and seemingly endless locks of blonde hair mean Dr Suleymenova makes International Macroeconomics more engaging.

One of the youngest lecturers in UoB and director of the drug discovery facility. His love is our drug.

Not only is Conrad the first Jamaican ever to have been to Oxbridge (or so he told us) and the world expert in his field, but he’s also a massive joker. For many, it’s love at first sight. For some, it takes a little longer to understand his slightly intimidating sense of humour, but everybody caves eventually. He even has his own Facebook appreciation site.

The most fancied female lecturer in the English department, Kate Rumbold is admired by many. Specialising in Shakespeare, she is one beautiful bookworm.

Described by some as George Clooney’s Mediterranean brother, he is certainly an Italian stallion. He has a tendency to swagger around the lecture hall, all while students eyes remain glued to his chiselled good looks. He certainly makes 9am lectures more bearable.

This gorgeous man lectures on the heart and certainly makes our’s beat a little bit faster. Students flock to his lectures because of his beauty.

But who do you think is the fittest? Take part in our poll below:
