The initial response from the University was very welcoming, approachable and informative. It was a really easy process to get information and start the ball rolling. The course itself, the practicality and convenience of distance learning, and having something tailored around working full time was great. It ticked all of those boxes for me.

I'm currently working as a DevOps, so a lot of Linux, continuous integration, and things like that. Going into digital forensics and cyber security was logical and I'm aiming to learn new things and get new skills. Especially as a DevOps, it's going to be quite helpful, I think, for my career.
