I've been building relationships with my peers, learning from talented mentors and linking in with leaders in industry landing amazing internships along the way.

The knowledge I have gained through my studies has given me confidence with my subject by enhancing vital skills in listening, negotiation and how I conduct myself. This will set me up for the world of work after graduation.
