Former EDC Student Profile
I have to say the thing I like the most about the arboriculture department is that the lecturers really care about the students. It's not just about getting them a pass, it’s about getting them ready for industry, and making sure they are fully equipped for their full career. As an ex-student I can’t thank the lecturers enough for everything they have done for me to help get me where I am now. Without them and their encouragement, professionalism, and helpfulness I would not be here, teaching and educating the next generation.
