Someone out there is actually listening, they want to know my opinions/thoughts on how the course is going, how can they make it better for next year’s students; all of these questions make me think that University is determined to see their students succeed. </p> <p>After coming to Staffs, it feels like my future looks a bit different, very bright in fact. The contacts I have made here, the industry knowledge gained and friend I have made are all for life. In my mind, I have no doubt that I will be employed before the end of my degree, and a big part of that is because I chose Staffs. </p> </div> <footer class="blockquote__footer"> <p class="cite">Zenith Vaghasiya </p> <p>MA Sports Journalism</p> </footer> </blockquote> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </section> <section class="slab slab--bg-dark-blue " id="apply"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="title title--has-tail js-waypoint"> <h2>Apply</h2> </div> <div class="grid" data-mode="ma-full-time"> <div class="col-1/2@desktop"> <div class="row text-white"> <div> <p>Applications are not currently available for this course.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-1/2@desktop"> <div> <a href="//www.staffs.ac.uk/enquiries/" class="button align-center">Enquire about this course </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="wrap"> <div class="slab"> <div class="grid"> <div class="col-3/4@tablet"> <h3 id="rules-heading">Rules and regulations</h3> <div data-source="Contensis" data-field="Rules and Regulations [in Standard Statements]"><p>If you are offered a place at University of Staffordshire, your offer will be subject to our rules, regulations and enrolment conditions, which may vary from time to time.</p> <p>Students of University of Staffordshire enter into a contract with us and are bound by these rules and regulations, which are subject to change.
