It’s Tuesday morning. Armed with a coffee, you log into Salesforce. First up are your calls to the Far East where it’s already late afternoon. There’s a legal executive in Malaysia who’s interested in the LLB in law and a Chinese teacher looking at the BSc in Psychology to make a career change. Then later today, you’ll be talking to a Swiss student who wants to transfer from his current university. He wants to know if he’ll get any exemptions. You’ll also need to follow up with a nice Police Call Handler from Manchester who enquired last week, thinking of enrolling on the Masters in Criminology and Criminal Psychology so she can advance her career in the force. Like many of our students before they enroll, she’s nervous about going back to study and needs a bit of reassurance and guidance.
