“I chose to study at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust mainly due to the institution’s esteemed reputation and its convenient proximity to me. Additionally, the breadth and diversity of courses offered were a significant factor in my decision.

Reflecting on my experience, it’s challenging to single out a specific aspect I enjoyed most, as it was a combination of factors: the quality of the lecturers, the engagement with fellow students, and the thought-provoking curriculum. Each component contributed to an educational experience that broadened my understanding and encouraged me to explore perspectives I hadn’t considered previously. If I had to highlight one aspect, it would be the lecturers, who transformed learning into an engaging and enjoyable process rather than a routine task.

The course has profoundly impacted my outlook; I find myself approaching life with extraordinary patience and tolerance, appreciating diverse perspectives and gaining a more holistic understanding of people and their experiences.

One of my most significant accomplishments was graduating from the postgraduate programme, fulfilling a lifelong aspiration. As someone with dyslexia, I have often questioned my academic potential, but the support I received from lecturers and the Student Support and Engagement team was invaluable. This experience has shown me that with the proper support, any goal is achievable. My gratitude goes out to the D24 team.

For prospective students considering a course at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, I suggest carefully reflecting on the direction you would like to take and the course that’s best for your goals. Specifically, I highly recommend the D24 programme – the course material is thoughtfully curated, and the staff support is exceptional. Trusting the learning approach here can lead to transformative personal and professional growth.”
