The flexible course structure made it feasible for me to study at CAT. With brilliantly intense on-site teaching weeks coupled with remote study, I could fit my studies around my life, while still being able to immerse myself in, pull inspiration from, and find close new friendships in the one-of-a-kind CAT site and community including students, tutors, and the wide network of graduates.
