My study experience was fantastic
I didn't know that a master's would ever be achievable with my full-time work schedule, but my study experience was fantastic. I enjoyed the flexibility that ECU offered which accommodated my work schedule. Although I had to take time off work to complete my clinical placement, ECU organised these in advance to allow for my annual leave. My biggest accomplishment was gaining employment almost immediately post-graduation.
