Teri Ritchie

Teri Ritchie has studied a MA on a part time basis, and will graduate in 2010.

When I enrolled on the Part-time MA degree seven years ago, I was very apprehensive. However I was soon put at ease on meeting lecturers and fellow students who were friendly and supportive.

Time passed so quickly - every new semester brought the excitement of choosing new modules, meeting new students of all ages and most importantly discovering, expanding and absorbing my knowledge in the subjects that I was particularly interested in. Lecturers were fun and approachable, dedicated to helping their students achieve their goals. I found that through the gradual completion of each module I became more confident and more competitive with myself about my grades.

What was particularly attractive to me in choosing this degree was the variety of subjects, the interest, interaction and support offered by the lecturers and the camaraderie of fellow students. Studying in this way enabled me to study and keep my paid employment.

Ultimately the sense of personal achievement on completion of my MA degree is tremendous.
