Student Testimonials

"As a recently appointed manager working in the third sector I have found the MA course at St Mary's to be highly relevant and informative. The learning has great practical application whilst leaving suitable space to consider a wide range of theoretical knowledge and thinking. I would recommend the course both to those starting out in the world of charity management or to current charity managers seeking a ‘recharge’."

“The MA Charity Management course at St Mary’s University College created an environment for my fellow students and I to develop a deeper understanding of the complex challenges that charities face in a highly competitive sector.  The whole course has allowed me to focus on the important aspect of my current role within my charity and see a clear path of development both for myself and the charity I work for. It is a win-win situation for all involved.”

“The classes were wonderful and I learned so much from the programme lecturers. I know that the knowledge and experience gained will not only be of personal benefit, but also the organisations with whom I am working or I will be working and also society in general. The course will remain a source of great pleasure and a memory of wonderful times.”

"I found the first semester very stimulating. The content is exactly what I was hoping for and has given me a sound grounding in governance and management issues. We have just started the second semester on the subjects of Finance and Investment and that looks to be every bit as good in content and delivery as the first. I thoroughly recommend the course."
