Derry Robertson
BA Business Management
At high school I always had a passion for business education but for years , I thought that I had to go to university to succeed . This view was changed by a teacher who told me how he ’ d started his career path at college .
I didn ’ t want to move away from Kirkcaldy , as I enjoyed being around my friends , and I also didn ’ t want to leave my part-time job . For me , college was the easiest and most practical pathway to progress after high school .
The opportunities and convenience are something that many don ’ t know about .
I studied HND : Events Management course and then BA : ( Hons ) Business Management .
My favourite part of my college experience was how it allowed me to grow , mature and develop as a person . Not only did Fife College prepare me for a future in education , it also allowed me to appreciate and understand the hard work of educators .
After leaving Fife College , I studied a Post Graduate Diploma in Education and I am now a Business Education teacher .
