“I found the convenient online nature of the master degree program facilitated through Robert Kennedy College (RKC) very helpful. Equally important was having a community of other online students to ask questions to (usually through What'sApp groups) in addition to the college. It should be noted that when asking RKC questions, they were always quick to respond. I would advise any prospective student to not be shy in asking RKC questions (by email or through What’s App). Additionally, I would advise students to take advantage of the various groups set up by current RKC students, some of whom will be further along in the program than you and can therefore provide helpful advice. I would recommend RKC for other prospective students. I had a great experience and all the advice along the way from the college (support staff, professors, and dean) and other students, personally helped me in gaining more confidence as I academically developed during the course, ultimately culminating in obtaining a distinction result for my masters. Feel free to reach out should you have any questions.”
