"I had a wonderful time studying at Kingston and as much as I hate to admit it I will miss being at university even though I am meant to be all grown up now. I am now working in the Leisure Property Sector and having a great deal of fun. I’m already involved with high level work and I’m using all the things I learned on the course."
