Why did you decide to stay at\/return to BU?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have loved being at BU and I love living in Bournemouth, also BU was one of the only universities offering MSc Cyber Security and Human Factors to students who did not come from a technical background.<\/p>\n

What are the best things about your course and academic experience overall?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The fact that the course is 100% coursework-based is extremely helpful because exams give me extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Also the fact that the lecturers are always on hand to help you if you need anything.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

What are your favourite things about living and studying in Bournemouth?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bournemouth is quite a safe place to live and I love being a five-minute walk from the beach, it\u2019s very peaceful. There\u2019s always something to do in Bournemouth as well, there\u2019s always some sort of event going on.<\/p>\n

What were your career aspirations before coming to BU and what are they now?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t sure about what exactly I wanted to do but now I know I definitely want to work in the field of cyber security or cyber psychology.<\/p>\n

How do you feel your postgraduate experience at BU will help you in your future career?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I feel like it will prepare me for what I want to do as a career, now all I need to do is find some practical experience.<\/p>\n

What postgraduate financial support have you been eligible for?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Postgraduate student loan from SFE.<\/p>\n

What have been the main differences you’ve found in postgraduate study vs. your first degree?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a lot more focused on specific areas and a lot more research based than undergraduate.<\/p>\n

What piece of advice would you give to someone considering BU for their postgraduate studies?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Do it, if you love Bournemouth and there\u2019s a course here that you want to do just go for it.<\/p>\n
