Richard Bowen: Program Manager for Microsoft
One of the great advantages of this online course is that it provides me enough flexibility for work, play and study.
Terry Goulding: Retired Civil Servant
On reaching retirement I refelected on my life and was disdappointed to see that I had not achieved any form of academic recognition. Couple this with boredom, I decided to keep my mind alert and retrospectively redress the situation.
Mandy Hill: Projects and Events Manager
I have always wanted to earn a degree. But where I grew up, further education was not even considered as an option. I was raised on a Council Estate in Hull in a “very working class neighbourhood” where there was no culture of achievement and no encouragement to learn. In fact, I’m the first in my family to enrol in higher education.
Dana Kotoulekova: Registered Manager
I’ve recently been promoted to manager at a private health and social care company, and I wanted to earn a degree without sacrificing my career. My company provides rehabilitation care for adults with mental health problems, learning disabilities, brain injuries, and diagnosis of alcohol and drug misuse. Last year I became a registered manager with the Commission for Social Care Inspection.
Vannesa Borowicz: Events Manager
I have always regretted not going to university, and up until recently never thought it was ever possible to fit a course around my hectic lifestle. I'm married, work full time and have a four year old daughter so the course had to provide me with a flexible, practicle and afforable way of acheiving my goal.
