"I chose to study at Brighton because extensive research that I did showed it has a first class reputation as one of the premier Postgraduate Certificate in education course providers. There were many great moments during the course. I will always have fond memories of my time in Brighton, particularly those experiences shared with my fellow students and the way we supported each other."
