Since completing my internship with a local Perth digital marketing agency, I have developed an interest in the field and would like to pursue a job in the digital marketing industry. Murdoch has provided me with the platform, through my internship unit, to gain hands-on experience and has really opened my eyes to this industry. This experience has been priceless and has provided me with a platform in which I know have taken a step in the right direction.

When I went to Curtin Open Day, I loved Curtin it at first sight. It appealed to me straight away. The whole environment, the atmosphere. Curtin offer more options and also provide a lot of support to students. Nursing is a hard course and the facilities are very much up to date, the simulation lab is my favourite because the set up it is exactly like the hospital and it helps me visualised how work placement later on could be like.

The structure of the vet degree at Murdoch is excellent and the people within the course are so considerate. As vet students, we need to accumulate industry-based animal experience as part of our degree. The vet staff and academics are very helpful in helping us students to get work-experience and provide us with a range of volunteering opportunities. Having this kind of support makes me feel as though there is always going to be someone there to help me when I need it, which is very helpful.

One of my favourite parts about studying I.T. at Griffith is the opportunity to use state of the art facilities! It is also fantastic to be taught by industry leaders - I feel like I am gaining knowledge that will help me in my career.

Initially I didn’t even think that I could get into university and so had given up on my childhood dream of being a marine biologist a long time ago. After attending a university fair in Singapore, I found out that I could actually pursue my dreams at Murdoch and so I worked hard and never looked back.
I love being able to learn about new topics through my course and being exposed to things that I never would have been able to see back in Singapore. As part of my course I have been able to see a range of plants and animals that I had previously only seen on National Geographic as a kid, which has been a great experience.

"I will encourage other students to come to Northwest because they will learn what it is like living on campus, experimenting this new culture, and making a lot of life long friends."

Having started her studies at Murdoch in Animal Science, after being treated for a painful disc herniation by a Chiropractor, Xiaojun discovered her passion for the health industries and decided to transfer into Murdoch’s Chiropractic Science course.
Having never heard about Chiropractic Science before starting at Murdoch, I transferred degrees and I am now working towards becoming a Chiropractor myself.

"I love the people here because they are friendly, kind, and you can talk to anybody. The teachers are excellent at teaching English. I feel very comfortable to ask questions and have conversations with friends, teachers, or with the local people, which is really helpful to improve my English."

Nursing is going to be a rewarding career and Murdoch is helping me to develop the skills I need to save lives. I think the Nursing school at Murdoch is excellent – it has a well-structured course that develops critical thinking in its students. The nursing simulation suites provide me with a great opportunity to link theory with practice and throughout my studies I have been able to learn and implement the clinical skills I will need as a working professional in the healthcare industry.

"Northwest Missouri State University has a great Biology program, plus it is a small university which made it easier for me to connect with my professors and my roommate. Both of these aspects helped me decide to come to Northwest."

My name is Binh and I am 18 years old. I come from a rural province of Dien Bien, a mountainous area in north-west of Vietnam. Our government-certified 'in poverty' household of 3 people comprises my father, my older brother, and I. After being diagnosed with Lupus, my mother's hospital fees was extremely expensive and left a debt of $4,000, sadly after all the treatments, she still passed away in 2018.
Our only source of income is from a small rice field, which only makes $50 a month. My father is 46 years old but has already developed severe back pain from years of farming. My older brother also helps out in the field, but requires constant medication due to asthma. Becoming a KOTO trainee means the world to me as I know my family's situation will change positively after I graduate. My hobbies are listening to music, watching movies and hanging out with friends. But now I feel more positive because KOTO has given me a precious opportunity for a better future, as well as a second family. The senior trainees have been very welcoming and always help us newcomers with any issues. My classmates are also very easy to get along with. My most cherished memories are the time I spent with my mother who always loved and took good care of everyone.

I chose to study the Bachelor of Business because I have always been passionate about numbers and the way share markets and money are managed. To me, understanding how to analyse and predict situations with the use of numbers is one of the most integral parts of today’s society. Learning how to manage and interpret accounts and financial statements for companies is one of my favourite parts about my degree.

I have had some great experiences at Northwest Missouri State University, it's hard to say what the best one is. One of my highlight experiences was participating in the Flag Raising event, an event that takes place every year. I was proud to be able to raise the flag of my island where I come from and share that with my global friends on campus. I also got the opportunity to meet with people from different walks of life, that experience really broadens my cultural perspective and sharpen my knowledge. I love the Gym facilities here as well and its training. The Foster Fitness Centre engages activities for students to have personal trainers, quality training so that we not only keep fit but also maintain our health and wellbeing for the best result of our studies. I would definitely recommend Northwest to other students. The professors here are very interactive with students and help bring out the best out of students. They are always willing to meet one on one and listen to your concerns and help you chose subjects that best fit your career path.Northwest Missouri State University is also very culturally inclusive with many international activities taking place throughout the year.

I like studying at Murdoch for several reasons, the first being that Murdoch encourages you to think outside the box, which generates innovation and improves critical thinking between students. Secondly, Murdoch has strong industry links, where industry professionals come to Murdoch as guest-lecturers and educate us on the real-life applications of our degrees. Lastly, one of the things I really like about studying at Murdoch, is the support the University offers. Staff and lecturers are easily approachable and are always happy to help, where the students tend to take care of each other and the staff really do look after the students.

"The Landing School is a special place for me. On a September morning almost 30 years ago I walked into a shop here at the School and was asked to do something that seemed impossible at the time: work with two strangers and within a few months convert a pile of rough cut wood into the highest quality sailing craft."

Griffith has an incredible criminology department with high profile individuals to learn from. The academic staff have provided me with wonderful support to help me through my studies.

I did a lot of research before joining Curtin University. It is well-known for Engineering and it is easy to get around. I went to Open Day at Curtin and had been given a tour here and I decided straight away that this is my university. What I love about Curtin University is the facilities. During exams and assignments, I could stay in the library late and there are so many technology programs and software available for me to do my work in a high standard quality. My advice to future students are always do your research carefully, whether to choose courses or subjects for your studies. Make yourself well-organised and plan ahead of time for any scholarships available. There are so many offerings on campus so make sure you prepare to meet deadlines or allow yourself to enjoy campus life.

"I came to MVCC two years ago. I've made many friends from different countries. The experiences I had here will be the most unforgettable memories in my whole life. College is a place that has made me a grow-up. It offers me a lot of experience and teaches me how to become the person I want to be."

As a Griffith Mate, I’ve been able to improve my self-confidence and my public speaking skills. I met amazing people throughout the program who are a part of my network now.
Being a Griffith Mate is a wonderful opportunity to share your experience with students from all over the world and I highly recommend it to all the students of Griffith University.

"Carroll University looks after you with the help of Orientation Mentors, advisors, professors, Resident Assistants, and every staff in different departments. I have been overwhelmed by the support and care I have gotten from Carroll starting my first day."

I am doing my English Course before entering my Master Degree. I chose Curtin due to the high world rankings it has. It is an important decision to study overseas, so I did a lot of research before joining Curtin. I also have a friend here and she advised me a lot about Curtin. My experience so far is amazing, my professors are very helpful and friendly. I also build other life skills from my teachers and friends at School. It is important to be disciplined to make the most of it in the class. The campus is amazing. I really enjoy walking around campus, and the Gym as well. There are a lot of activities going on on campus and it is so easy to get around and very clean and green. I love Perth too.
