“All lecturers demonstrate a detailed understanding of their subject and are excellent at helping the
student to understand it.”
                                    David Nolan, Actuarial Program Manager, Hartford Life Limited

“I appreciated the way all lecturers taught their module from a practical point of view. To me, it felt
like they brought the work place to the lecture. This was extremely beneficial to me, as I felt I could
really relate to the course material and could easily apply it in a work related situation. A lot the
assignments were also practical driven, which taught me how to apply a theory based situation into a
practical one, and how to critique same. All lecturers provided feedback from assignments, which
was extremely beneficial and helped with improving the next assignment.”

 “It was a pleasure to undertake this course - safe in the knowledge that any queries were always
