For over forty years Loughry Campus, in conjunction with Queen’s University Belfast, has provided a range of full and part-time courses in Communication, including Postgraduate Diploma and MSc programmes. Studying part-time is never easy, but MSc Communication graduate David Willis is proof that all that hard work is worthwhile. David’s Communication journey started back in the 1980s, when he completed the Diploma in Agricultural Communications through Loughry Campus (CAFRE). More recently, he decided, almost twenty years later, that he wanted to upgrade his communications qualification to an MSc through part-time study.

David is a Sales Manager for CB Packaging, a paper sack manufacturer based in Bangor, looking after accounts throughout the UK and Ireland for companies such as potato growers, milk powder manufacturers, animal feed and flour mills. Through his thesis he investigated adoption of new technology in businesses within the agri-food and rural business sectors. David said “I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at Loughry and meeting fellow-minded students. The staff were always very supportive throughout my studies and this course has definitely helped my confidence and self-esteem”.
