3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I think the programme at uni is beneficial and has brought me knowledge I have been able to take into the business. Some parts of the course seem unorganised and some topics seem to feel as fillers.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

As mentioned previous, there are parts of the course I believe could be structured better, I think the initial reminders on things such as referencing at the start of the second year isnt neccesary.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

My role differs slightly from most who work in IT as I am the only person in the business who does IT as this role didnt exist prior to me joining. The qualification itself has provided new ways of thinking and helped my ability to present to the team.
