Student Testimonial
 

"The Springboard+ Diploma in Big Data for Business at DBS addressed my needs perfectly by providing a solid grounding in all of the key areas without expecting any previous experience in these areas. The accessibility of DBS is a very strong selling point, whether you are walking, cycling or driving. Also, I found the DBS library and careers services to be of huge value and the staff at DBS were very helpful to me whenever I sought help."
