Seizing opportunity from difficulty
A period of adversity convinced mature student Sefena to take the plunge back into education after she was made redundant during the Covid-19 pandemic.
鈥淚 realised it was a pivotal moment in my life 鈥� it was now or never to pursue my dreams鈥�, she said.
She knew she needed a course that would allow her to build on existing strengths and experience while learning new skills: 鈥淭he balance of practical learning and academic study offered at 蜜桃传媒 allowed me to develop my knowledge base, while the the affiliation with University of Warwick reassured me of the programme's quality.鈥�
Sefena quickly re-adjusted to life in full-time education, and feels the transition was made easier by the support of those around her.
鈥淚 formed lifelong friendships with the close-knit student cohort and dedicated lecturers. Kick-Start helped me stay focused on my studies by easing the financial burden, and HIRED even helped me secure a role with the Commonwealth Games鈥�, she enthused.
Now that she has graduated, Sefena is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead: 鈥淩eturning to education has been a big step, but 蜜桃传媒 has given me the tools, opportunities, and confidence to turn my passion into a career.鈥�
