The best part of PCA is the location, accessibility and amount of support available. Studying as a mature student can be a bit of a shock to the system but the resources and knowledge available within the college is second to none. Being able to have tutorials and lectures online has been great and such a great use of time. Using others experience and expertise has hugely helped my study while working full time. I haven't been able to fully immerse myself in student life simply because I only have one day off a week, however there are constant communications about events and student participation opportunities that I still feel very much part of the college.

With working full time, its been great being taught largely online. The time I would normally spend travelling to and from the college, queuing for lunch etc has now been turned into more study time. I was apprehensive at first with it being online but now I prefer it as its far more efficient. The option to blend with other MA students has been good also as its very much a choice- so again I can choose what's the best use of my time
