I had the opportunity to meet people from different walks of life, different organisations that I wouldn't have normally engaged with. Developed my confidence and appreciated teh value of having a study group and working together as a team. For 2.5 years my MBA cohort motivated each other

We have a tutor who we can communicate with through an online portal. I think there is room for improvement here as we don't have any human intercation once the course is delivered
