I always knew that I wanted to have the chance to do more with my career, and this led me to Griffith University. The Master’s in Aviation Management from Griffith laid an excellent career foundation and framework in every aspect. [After graduation] during my time as a College Professor, the Master’s Degree provided me with valuable background knowledge that I used to make the course material and presentation more effective for the target group.

No matter which campus you choose, at Griffith you will have some great facilities available, including libraries, cafes and food precincts, and sport and fitness amenities. Explore some of the best places to hang out and have fun on campus.

I ended getting my job through one of the work-integrated learning programs that Western introduced right after my first semester. It was this program that basically kick-started my career as I was offered to work as an intern that converted into a part-time role, and the day I submitted my thesis in my final semester I was offered to work as a Programs Coordinator and Quality Assurance Engineer at one of the leading Australian Edtech startups in Experiential Learning.

I was drawn to Northwest because of the support I found here. From the students to the staff, everybody encourages me to go for my dreams, and I can't wait to make them proud.

Griffith provided me with a new sense of hope. I started my new life and immersed myself in everything at university. I entered Griffith University through the Direct Entry Program – Griffith English Language Institute pathway. Studying English through the DEP has been one of the best experiences in my life and I have improved my English a lot. Through GELI, I have learnt how to lead a formal discussion group, improved my critical thinking, learnt research techniques, and how to write in formal English. DEP has helped me to strengthen my English skills which resulted in me being able to continue my studies in Psychology at Griffith University.

I chose to study at Griffith because beside being a renowned institution it has great financial support for international students. I was awarded the International Student Excellence Scholarship and this formulated part of my decision to study at Griffith. Education is a high value investment, especially as an international student! Without Griffith’s support, acknowledging my achievements in my undergraduate studies and believing in my capacity toward my masters, I would not be able to continue my studies.

I chose to study at Western Sydney University International College because of the great world rankings and the universities international profile. I have found the business teachers to be very friendly and caring, and they all have great real-world experience which is so important. My advice to students thinking about studying at the International College would be to come prepared and ready to work hard. It’s not just one big party! I’d really like to combine my passion for accounting and law, and one day be an accountant in a law firm.

Teachers are very supportive and helpful in the way they approach students to help with lessons and assignments. It is truly one of the best things and why I loved studying at College of Ryde, TAFE NSW, Australia!

The Student Support Scholarship has been such a blessing, I have been able to focus more on my studies and less on the stresses of affording my finances and tuition. Receiving the 20% discount on my tuition has also assisted me in my decision to transfer from the LLB program to the JD program, given the JD program has higher course fees and the discount balanced out the increase in fees under the JD program

The MBA course has been a great journey for me, I met a lot of friends and I built a very valuable network. I met a lot of people that have years of experience in the industry and they shared their stories. The important value of the Australian degree to me is that it’s well recognised all over the world, and with this degree I feel like I can work all over the world like a global citizen. I can interact and learn more about the innovation that Australian’s are doing, and also use it to help my country in the future.

As a non-native English-speaking learner, my English was not the best for completing the course, I consulted both Dr Minglin Li and Dr Sophiaan Subhan, they were so patient in explaining to me the ideas and theories. They even offered me online or phone consultations on numerous occasions. I was honoured to be accepted by Griffith University, and I am really lucky to have both Doctors helping and shedding light on my previous study and current research. After completion of Master’s of TESOL, I was appointed as head of IELTS, head of teachers, and then academic manager, this is something I have never dreamed of.

I really wanted to challenge myself after not really applying myself during high school at home in Norway. The dual degree at Griffith was perfect for me.

"I wanted to study in a smaller city and live with locals to get to know the New Zealand culture and to improve my English. People here are really friendly and open-minded. Nelson has been a good base for me to travel around the rest of New Zealand as well as it is situated centrally and you can reach both islands easily."
