"I found doing a Master Degree at Edinburgh Napier a very worthwhile experience. As a mature student with life and work experience, it offered a chance to add academic rigor and framework to underpin what I was already doing in industry, and provided a much deeper appreciation and understanding of why we do things in industry. Industry is time sensitive and often employees are simply trained to follow procedure without much regard as to why. The degree course filled that gap and really gave me a more profound knowledge, and importantly, confidence, that I could bring back to my work place."
- Duncan Reid, Edinburgh Napier alumni
