My university experience has been a journey of growth, challenge, and self-discovery. Pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after working in the pharmaceutical and clinical field has allowed me to see healthcare from a completely different perspective. Instead of focusing only on individual patients, I now think about communities, prevention strategies, and health systems as a whole.

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the exposure to diverse ideas and teamwork. Working in different study groups has helped me improve my communication, leadership, and collaboration skills. Each group project pushed me to think critically and consider different viewpoints. Preparing presentations, such as those on public health issues like tuberculosis, strengthened my research skills and boosted my confidence in public speaking. I also appreciate how my previous work experience in pharmacy and clinical settings allows me to contribute practical insights during discussions.

Another positive aspect has been personal growth. University has taught me time management, discipline, and resilience. Balancing coursework, deadlines, and group responsibilities has not always been easy, but it has helped me become more organized and focused. I have learned how to analyze data, interpret research, and apply evidence-based approaches to real-world health challenges.

However, there have also been challenges. Group work, while rewarding, can sometimes be stressful due to differences in commitment levels, communication styles, or schedules. Managing academic pressure, tight deadlines, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance has also been difficult at times. Additionally, transitioning from a practical, hands-on clinical role to a more research- and theory-based academic environment required adjustment.

Overall, my university experience has been both demanding and enriching. The challenges have helped me grow stronger and more adaptable, while the positive experiences have expanded my knowledge and career vision. Studying public health has not only enhanced my professional skills but has also deepened my passion for improving community health outcomes. read full review

Best said using my recent LinkedIn and Facebook post... As my MBA at the University of Chester draws to a close and the dissertation deadline looms ever closer, I’ve found myself feeling a little reflective about leaving an institution that has given me so much.

From friendships across the globe, to knowledge and skills spanning a wide range of disciplines, my post graduate challenge has fostered a host of special memories and a renewed love for the city of Chester. From Roman guards shepherding schoolchildren past my lunchtime walks and stewarding some fearsome battles in Grosvenor Park, to a superbly talented academic team inspiring and challenging me in equal measure, together with the incredible professional services staff, including the wonderful security guard at Churchill House who once helped me hunt down a pair of emergency reading glasses.

Perhaps it’s my combined thirteen years between the National Trust and Trentham showing, but a special mention must go to the estates team, whose tireless work creates the beautiful, seasonal spaces that have fostered new ideas, friendships, quiet moments and the occasional visit from my cockerpoo, Teddy

Places of education matter. They bring people together around shared curiosity, act as engines for opportunity and growth, and inspire change far beyond their campuses. They are also powerful drivers of place - attracting students, families, partners and visitors from around the world, and contributing richly to the cultural and economic life of their cities.

The year has flown . The low point was transitioning my head into academic writing. As a mature student working in marketing, content and storytelling it was a tough transition, but academic skills team and course leader and academic staff have been brilliant. read full review
