Student stories

Holly Tisdall, Master of Nurse Practitioner

I decided to undertake this course because I felt it was time to build on the knowledge and skills I have learned over the years as a registered nurse with current, evidence-based education. The most enjoyable area included learning advanced diagnostics and pharmacology, and completing my own research.

David Tredinnick, Graduate Diploma in Records Management and Archives

The education I’ve received has made me confident and excited for my future, allowing me to prove to myself that it’s never too late to retrain or change careers.
