I loved my course. I loved the fact it was very hands-on especially the News Days module. And I found that the teachers were very helpful throughout my studies.

I enjoyed the freedom to explore projects that complemented my skills and being able to expand my knowledge at my own pace.

The course helped us to prepare for, and be mindful of, going into industry after graduation.
