I never thought I could study again after a long gap and with kids. But the excellent program design, resources, help from peers and academic staff and the flexible and easy to understand study materials has enabled me to finish my master's. I learned many new skills like programming (python, R, Tableau) - without having a single idea about it before - in a very easy and effective way. The discussion forum was an interesting way for the remote students to be connected with peers and exchange ideas. The program has added great value to my skills and profile and opened doors to many opportunities I can choose from.
