Respondents praised the degree as having provided them with the necessary tools for career progression and as a stepping stone to a new career. The teaching was considered to be of high quality.
Challenges of employment
While many respondents were satisfied with their degree, some have not found a job in their field. The reason given for this was often the poor economic situation.
