What has been the most challenging task you have accomplished in your degree?

Writing a literature review. I had knowledge about conducting a research study of which a literature review is part of it, but I had no idea that a literature review could be done as a dissertation. It was challenging initially, but in the end, I am glad I was able to complete it successfully.

How did this course prepare you for employment?

I have more confidence in standing out for any employment I desire to have. My confidence was not only improved by my course, but by the entire process of studying, learning how to write a British CV and my internship with the University's SID (Student Information Desk)

Additionally, my confidence grew through use of computer training sessions available at the University and the method of learning which gives students the opportunity to express themselves, their views and opinions at ease.

Why would you recommend this course to others?
