intake.
This said, the quality and
experience of the candidates
and their readiness for the
course is core.
The push to market the
course to women in the first

order to arrange visit/field extensively

Ongoing. A programme of regular
visits from industry professionals is in
progress.
Funding through a research project is
allocated for sessional support to
allow for some greater contact outside

We have added additional master

these “uncredited” but valuable
industry insights has been
disappointing to the realms of
embarrassing.
