People have commented on how much my confidence and positivity have improved over the last three years. I'm so proud of what I have achieved and accepting my degree was my proudest moment.
Niamh Harriman, police constable
The great thing about this course is that you can adapt it. I'm someone who never thought I would ever be at uni doing business, but it's just perfect being able to work and study.
Liam Thompson, KFC manager
You learn so much more than you would on a normal degree course because you are also doing the job at the same time, getting the practical experience.
Lia Hamp, Digital and Technology Solutions Apprentice
Being able to work and learn at the same time is perfect as you can still grow your career and you don't feel like you are missing out on not being at work.
Kerry Pipe, hearing aid dispenser
To be honest, I have loved it! I can share experiences and importantly, hear experiences from other leaders, which has helped my development.
