“When I left school, I never thought I would be graduating with a degree, so I feel incredibly proud of myself. It’s been a long journey, so I’m relieved to be finished and to now be promoted to a Data Manager in my role at the University of York. I really enjoyed the flexibility of the course which allowed me to work alongside my studies. I was 20 years older than those on the course, but we all had a great connection and could share our experiences with each other. The course covers a vast range of units and I’ve been able to apply every aspect to my role, including change management which has taught me how to deal with this with staff within an organisation.”
