We've got the best team of tutors in the college and it's already been a fun course so far. The IGLOO cylinder immersive pod is a real highlight and I've already got thoughts about projects I can use it for - the facilities are a huge thing for me. If anyone is thinking of studying at the IoT, I'd say go for it because you won't regret it." Morgan "It's great to have the Institute of Technology facilities on my doorstep. The tutors are really nice and there's a lot of help if you need it. The resources are probably the best thing - there's a lot of technology to use. I'd definitely recommend people look at what the IoT can offer." Brandon "It's a really interesting course with a lot of great kit for us to use. I feel like if you do well on this course you'll set yourself up for a good job. I've always been fascinated by cyber security and to be able to use equipment like we have here is amazing." Connah "There are huge opportunities in cyber security and the work being done in the industry is really interesting. A lot of money has been spent on the technology here and it's fantastic to have access to that. The teachers work really closely with the students too, always willing to give feedback and help if you need it. In the second year of the course, I did a work-based learning placement, which was a really great experience. I'd definitely recommend people to come and see what the IoT has to offer." Benjamin "Highlights so far have been access to the workshops and the learning support from staff. I know that with a computing course there are going to be so many opportunities when it comes to work. One of the reasons I chose this course was the work-based element and the fact that the IoT works so closely with employers." John "It's a great course that really challenges you. The facilities and the teachers are brilliant and give you a better understanding of what you're learning in the classroom. It's really opened my eyes to the opportunities available. The best advice I'd give someone is to come and see how you can develop your skills here. Don't let the opportunity go to waste or you may regret it."
