Mohammed Azharuddin Khan discusses the good, the difficult and the rewarding parts of returning to education in the middle of your career.

Earlier this year, Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet announced its plans to award four fully funded places on its MSc in Leadership, Innovation and Technology programme as a way of celebrating the course’s 20 years in operation.

The programme, which is delivered at Technological University Dublin, is a part-time, applied master’s designed specifically for experienced professionals working in technology and innovation-led environments.

In the years since it was first introduced in 2006, the programme has produced 300 graduates.

One such graduate is Mohammed Azharuddin Khan, who recently completed the course.
