“When I started, I didn’t know what my learning style was. Attending the classes for me is the most beneficial. Everyone is from different backgrounds, so you get to hear lots of different perspectives and real-life insights on the topics we cover on the course. This helps me to learn and gives me more ideas for doing further research on my own.”

“The tasks set by my tutor every week really help with my studies, especially when practising how to plan and prepare answers for the different types of questions. I get to listen to the different answers from everyone else and my tutor can explain the different reasons for the different approaches.”
