I found the Graduate Certificate in Disability Studies to be a solid foundation for my career in social work. Coming from Egypt, I was interested in learning about international perspectives on disability, and this course delivered. The module on disability and culture was particularly eye-opening, as it helped me understand the diverse experiences of people with disabilities across different cultures. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. While I would have liked more opportunities for feedback and interaction with instructors, overall I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it's helped me achieve my learning goals. One area for improvement could be more case studies or examples from the Middle East and North Africa region.
