Student Testimonial

What I enjoy most about the course is its practical aspect. Alongside the international and social aspects of the course the practical elements replicate the reality of the workplace which provide an invaluable experience I can carry into my future career. Being amongst so many nationalities and the global outlook of the lectures has opened my mind to ideas and opportunities that I'd never have experienced if I hadn't chosen this course.
