Testimonials

Jonathan Hunt

MSc Civil Engineering | 2014

"I had been considering studying a Master’s degree for some time, however, my work commitments prevented me from being able to take the time out for study. The University of Bolton's part-time MSc allowed me to continue working whilst gaining valuable new experience. The friendly and knowledgeable staff utilise both theoretical and practical knowledge, encouraging students to consider the real-world applications of what they have learned. Completing my degree has enabled me to pursue Chartered Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers."
