The student experience

"Initially, it was a tough balance to fit it in whilst maintaining a good work life balance. It’s all about discipline both at work and at home. The programme was stimulating academically, commercially and technically and it was really interesting listening to experts who helped me to broaden my horizons. There were many components to the programme which were genuinely useful and immediately applicable to my own work."

 "I wanted to be able to attend weekly classes and the location was close by. Colleagues at studies at Coventry and had recommended the course to me. The course is very informative and follows the CIPD structure in terms of content. It was well structured and offered plenty of choice, both afternoon and evening classes. Staff are very knowledgeable and willing to provide additional support both within and outside of classes. There is excellent facilities and well-stocked library, with up to date copies of all the current edition of CIPD recommended books."

"While studying I worked at Coventry City Council so it was hard work and I had to be very disciplined. I received lots of support from the University and at home. This is vital for achieving some work-life balance, especially when you have two young children."
