“I decided to do (the postgraduate certificate) because it's just three months more, and then I could earn a postgraduate certificate from King's College London. I think it's quite useful if one day I want to change countries, for example; in some countries, postgraduate qualifications are more important.”

This programme offers a comprehensive and practical learning journey, bridging academic theory and real-world application.

This hands-on project not only allows for academic exploration but also provides practical insights through industry mentorship, effectively bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
Your portfolio will be a tangible showcase of your skills, linked directly to an independent project and drawing from the principles in the Career Accelerator.
