“This course has been crucial in securing my job”
“The impact of studying this course at Derby has been crucial in securing my job and giving me the confidence to go out and get what I want. My time at the University of Derby has proved to me that I can do things I didn’t think I could. I’ve gained so much confidence when presenting in front of people and have surprised myself each time I handed in a piece of work at the grades I had achieved.”
