Computer Science is challenging and very abstract, but Aston offers so much support. I have gained several technical skills namely, PHP, Laravel, Java, JavaFX, Ajax, and Git. The skills you learn in fixing broken programmes apply to everyday life.

My passion for my personal development through life-long learning was my driving force to pursue this programme.

Online study gave me the option to learn and work concurrently. After my review of several ranking sites and with the accreditations of AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA, Aston Business School was my obvious choice. A worthwhile experience that surpassed my expectations.
