"The world is your oyster! You gain a wealth of skills through your time at university, not just academically but also through life lessons that help you progress and develop.
My time at Edinburgh Napier was invaluable in setting me up on my career path, at the time when I was not sure what I wanted to do. Take time to review where your passion lies and focus on it, it will lead you in the right direction. That may be in 6 months, a year or more, and that is ok!"
