The Diploma saw me asking questions and challenged me in ways differently from my Bachelor degree courses. The Diploma helped steer my career direction as I am fascinated by entrepreneurial activity in the food and related industries. I am now studying my Master of Philosophy where I am researching strategies for reducing obesity. This is a pathway I never thought I would take when I started university and it was influenced by the Diploma in Innovation Management.
