" My foundation degree allowed me to explore a range of digital technologies including photography and video as well as web design. I decided that web technologies were where my interests lie so, on completion of the foundation degree, I applied to go straight into the final year of the BSc Hons in Web Technologies.

This means that at the end of my studies I will have achieved two qualifications. I have found everything to be extremely well organised. As a student you always know what you should be doing and feel supported. I am confident that the skills I am learning are preparing me very well for a career in web design. "

" I completed my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at the BRAC University in Bangladesh. I then registered at the University of Greenwich for the MSc in mobile computing & communications. On this programme I have studied technologies such as mobile technologies, network management, network security and web engineering. I enjoyed these courses very much, especially mobile technologies and network security. The mobile telecomms industry needs skilled people and this programme has been designed to meet the market demand. I am confident that it will help me to get into this job market. "

" It is a very diverse programme and you get to learn a whole range of skills. I have particularly enjoyed learning PHP coding. I have met many interesting people and gained lots of friends as well as the skills and knowledge to take me forward into my career. "

"I can't help being so enthused about the difference this programme has made to my life.

For the first part of my working life, while bringing up two children, I was working in administration, finance and accounting. These were 'the good old days' when there wasn't a computer in sight. I then realised my ambition and trained to become a nurse. Computers began to arrive at the clerical stations but I managed to avoid them. As I 'climbed the ladder' I realised that I needed to address this issue and I enrolled on the MSc in Computing and Information Systems.

The programme has revolutionised my working life. I don't know where to begin. I now have staffing details on a database and electronically prepare teaching sessions. I have my own spreadsheets to calculate my percentage annual leave and sickness levels, and I keep a history of all my meetings. Staff communications are by e-mail, and I am also able to keep up with national initiatives and so very, very much more. I feel the programme has provided such an interest, a stimulation that has allowed me to maintain enthusiasm in all areas of my life. Being a part-time student, I have still managed a very full working and social/ family life. I'll never run out of things to learn."
