StudentTestimonial - What a year

By Bethan Finlay

I have so enjoyed Corporate Communications. I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by! Not only have I learned so many practical skills such as writing in a more effective manner and in so many new ways, but my confidence levels due to this program have increased greatly. I have done so many things in this program that 7 months ago I would not push myself to do...such as the presentations, group work etc.

I have found group work to be so useful. I have learned to speak up, be more assertive and to believe in my thoughts and ideas more. People close to me, have said thay they've noticed a dramatic difference in the way I carry myself since the beginning of this program. I have learned to think more critically, convey my thoughts in a more effective manner, be a productive member of a team, be an active listener, write with more purpose in a concise manner and speak with more confidence.
Each course has been integral to my learning and I cannot wait to begin my career in public relations. I am ready for the challenges that are ahead of me and I owe the majority of that to this program.

A year ago I felt a little 'lost' with regards to where I would end up career-wise in my future, but now it is so clear to me that there are several avenues I can take in the field of communications.

Thank-you so much for all that you and your team have taught me, it has been much appreciated.
