Student views

Comment by Charlotte Viner, HR Officer 

"Just as a note I must say that as much as I struggled doing the PG Diploma, the teaching style was so much better than that I had encountered in my first year at another University. I found all the staff supportive and willing to help when help was asked for, and the activities that were included in the programme were relevant and interesting. If anyone asks for my recommendation regarding further education I will be recommending Solent University to them"
