"It was 10 years since I completed my degree so I felt I needed to refresh my skills. I chose the Master of Business Administration (MBA) as it covered every aspect of business management.


Any expectations I had before I completed the course were surpassed. I am extremely happy I completed a course in DBS and would recommend to anyone looking for further their education."

"My course (MA in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy) has benefitted me on both a personal and a professional level. During my time at DBS, I found there was a real hands on approach in terms of the lecturer/student dynamic. There was a great support system all around and I felt comfortable in this environment. The nature of such an area, which deals with working in the area of the mind requires a lot of support and it was provided in spades. Even the library offered such personal assistance, it made doing my thesis that bit easier!"
