Alumni Profile

Sarah Butler – Works at an Environmental Consultancy

My course was very interesting from many different points of view. The course was more challenging than I expected and I have made many nice friends that I will keep in touch with for life. My favourite parts were the fieldtrips to Zermatt in the Swiss Alps where we got the opportunity to take a cable car to the Briethorn. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity I never thought I would get to do.
