The collaborative style of teaching was very refreshing: a lot of the learning was based on teamwork, co-operation and open discussion. With the help and guidance of teaching staff, I changed the way I thought about things: my approach to project management first, but also the way I viewed my choice of career path. I learned to question things and I felt inspired and motivated to do what I enjoy – and to stretch myself at every opportunity. That has stayed with me, and I’m sure it always will.
