“I chose to study online with ATU because I wanted to upskill in biopharmaceutical science while continuing to work full-time, and the fully flexible delivery meant I could learn at times that suited me. Starting with a Level 6 certificate and progressing through honours degrees to master’s level has deepened my knowledge and practical skills at every stage. The support from lecturers and the industry-relevant content gave me confidence to take the next step in my career and grow in a field I’m passionate about.

“I chose to study the PG Certificate in Food Regulatory Affairs because I wanted to improve my knowledge of regulatory frameworks and gain a recognised qualification that would help me in my global regulatory role. The flexible online delivery meant I could continue working full-time and balance study with personal commitments. The lectures, recorded content and lecturer support made learning enjoyable and relevant. Completing this programme boosted my confidence to interpret legislation and apply insights directly in my profession.”

Stephanie Enright, graduate of the PG Cert in Food Regulatory Affairs

“I chose to study the MSc in Health Promotion Practice because I wanted to deepen my understanding of health and wellbeing in a way that would support positive change in communities and in my own professional practice. The flexible delivery meant I could continue to work while I learned, and the practical focus of the course content helped me apply new skills straight away. Completing this master’s strengthened my confidence, broadened my career prospects and equipped me to contribute meaningfully to health promotion initiatives.”

Natasha Kelly, graduate of the MSc Health Promotion Practice
