3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Uni work is a lot, but mostly manageable during class. The issue is getting the company I work with to give me the time to work on it, as there seems to be an expectation of working outside of work hours in spite of the 40hr work week.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very poorly organised, we don't get our timetable until the same month we start for the year which makes it very difficult to maintain a work schedule.

Currently, my manager is very understanding. My old manager was rotten, though, as I got no time for uni work
