    Hi there,
    Just wondering if anyone alse has done this course? I’m coming from a languages/history background, so the qualitative/quantitative analysis elements will be new to me. I heard that it is more of a conversion course, with people coming from all sorts of disciplines. Is this the case in practice? What kind of jobs have people gotten afterwards? Also, what is the workload like? I’m hoping to work around 10 hours a week but its editing work so will be flexible hopefully. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I'm asking the same question! Is the course well regarded; what are the careers prospects etc. I already have an MSc in Environmental Engineering and plenty of consulting experience but this course sounds really interesting - trying to figure out if I really need to do another MSc or whether I the GradCert option would be just as good to get me in the door. Would like to work for a government agency in sustainable agriculture or rural development but have no experience in this field to date. Any info welcome Cheers!
