3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Everyone you work with is so accommodating and willing to help. The workload is enough to keep you busy, but not overwhelming. The programme is also interesting and the University studies are relevant to your work.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is very well organised and structured. As it is an online University setting, you are not restricted to specific timings which is very accommodating. There are also staff on the programme available on a timetable to help answer any queries regarding the content and overall University experience

You are involved in bi-monthly reviews to assess your progress, as well as contact details for means of support. As the Study is solely online there is a little less personal experience, compared to Face to Face, but they are available online to aid you, which is still extremely beneficial.
