The modules on the course are extremely interesting and beneficial, knowledgeof which will prove useful in the IT marketplace. In terms of academic staff, I found them to be very informative; they werealso capable of imparting knowledge with ease. I studied part-time and found the lecturers and administration staff to bevery flexible and accommodating. This meant that the academic duties of a part-time student and the day-to-dayprofessional duties never conflicted.10 11
