My years at Metanoia have been life-changing. Apart from the academic rigour, the learning I’ve achieved, and the excellent and supportive teaching, I feel I’ve changed personally. I have become more self-aware and conscious of others’ needs and feelings; more confident and self-assured in my relationships with others. It hasn’t been an easy process: the travel, the cost, the juggling day jobs and placements, the time needed to read and write essays and presentations – all this has stretched me to the limit. But it was worth it. I am now able to count several classmate/colleagues as friends. And the tutors have been inspirational. I would recommend Metanoia to anyone who really wants an emotionally transformative as well as educational experience. It has certainly prepared me for the work I want to do.
