My programme has university which has its own set of structure. Mace also have a coinciding programme of required competencies I have to reach by the end of the programme.

My university provide a vast amount of support for my programme. whether that is support for how to write assignment or if it is wellbeing support. There is multiple ways of getting in touch with the university and from my experience will have multiple solutions to help you.
