Dawn Olds, USA, 36, Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management.


I earned a BA in Marketing and Management in the USA a number of years ago. During my studies I had taken an HR course and loved it. When I visited Ipswich I was awed by the Waterfront Building, and the programme was highly regarded.


The best thing about the course was the students, who were all friendly and willing to share their work- experiences which helped my learning tremendously. The tutors also worked with us diligently to give us every opportunity to succeed.


One of the best things about UCS is the study skills support. When I first arrived I didn’t know how to write a report and didn’t have a clue what Harvard Referencing was. Grammar isn’t my strongest skill and thankfully there were very knowledgeable and patient people who helped me.


My advice for anyone coming to UCS is to take advantage of the study skills support. Also don’t be afraid to get to know others on your course and use each other as support.


If I had one word to describe my time at UCS it would be gratifying. It’s been hard work but it has all been worth it and it has been an awesome year!
