The programme is intense demanding complex and very time extensive which in some cases has had a detrimental effect on spending time with family and friends.

I've learned much during the process , some of it's about myself and how I can better understand, manage, direct people and set better strategies with robust data, theories and direction whilst understanding the wider internal and external environments which can disrupt or help situations. This is very much about the leadership element and how to navigate what is a tricky and complex topics

I think the course is structured well, you can have access to all there amenities and resource i they provide however there's just so much of it. Its pretty difficult sometimes understand where you can get what especially when you're dealing with balancing home work study life. its more like a full time course.
