"I graduated about 20 years ago, so this PGDip has been a great opportunity to catch up with current thinking because things move on so much. The pace of change within some of these areas is incredible. I would definitely recommend this opportunity to other people. I’ve certainly learned a huge amount and it is something I will continue with."
