Work Experience and Internships
As you know Remus Buznea and Kyriaki Kyriakou have been helping me on an animation project to compliment my executive leadership programmes. I would like to feedback that both students were a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job. They were both very attentive, completed the work on-time and showed great committed to the project. They exceeded my expectations and I think they are a credit to UCA.'
