We often hear great things from our graduates and we’re interested in reaching out and asking them about their experiences since graduation and tips they may have to share with current students and other graduates.

A massive welcome to all students starting this week and welcome back to everyone else! We hope you’ve had a very restful holiday and are on top form for the first/final term of the academic year. (If you will be a continuing student in September, don’t forget the university will be moving to semesters!)
