The programme is excellent. What I like most about the programme are the teachers, especially Dra Claudia. She is a great and helpful teacher.
The teachers are always on hand and the programme is easy to navigate around a full-time job, especially good for a mature student like me.
It was an intense 9 months with many interesting seminars. Claudia Soto is amazing person and a great lecturer. I really enjoyed her sessions; every week was a challenge- but learning something new is always a challenge. I recommend this postgraduate for everyone who want dig into deep to the cosmetic field.
I decided to study at CEMP because it is a distance learning programme where I can work at my own pace. The feedback from other students seemed very promising, and the course content seemed interesting. So far, I have had a fantastic experience and have received all the help I need.
I chose CEMP as I have heard good reviews about the centre, plus I like how they have tutors who check in regularly with your progress. I hope after this master’s that I can understand skin science and cosmetic care product labelling better, and maybe be able to formulate my own range of products one day.
I love the flexibility and structure of the programme, as I can study in my free time and don't need to attend university offline. I especially like that there are so many quizzes after each lesson, and our teacher Claudia Soto is so friendly, understanding and helpful.
