“Beginning with baby steps – a couple of weekend courses and then a longer one online – ICE has allowed me to work up to studying for an MSt in a subject (creative writing) completely different to the one I first studied at university, whilst also affording me the freedom to continue working as a doctor in the NHS.” – Munib Haroon
