“I feel a sense of belonging here at Western Sydney University. We have a diverse student body where everyone is welcome and given opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Western is very supportive of its students in both academic performance and any general life. I receive the support I need whenever I reach out to the University. The Study Smart service at the Library helped me to gain confidence in my academic performance by offering to discuss and review assignments with me. Through the University’s CareerHub I found opportunities to gain local work experience. I came to Western to get a degree but what I have gained is a lot more than that. It is truly a community where everyone has the equal chance to realise their potential.”

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.

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.

Western Sydney University focuses more on the practical side. Get into real world working experience, have your hands-on different opportunities and really try out everything.

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.

People are really friendly here, and there is a positive environment all around Western Sydney University. We are one of the most flexible and accepting universities and studying with us will give you a competitive advantage in the future. People are really helpful and if you need any assistance make sure you talk to someone about it.

I thoroughly enjoy my life as a Western Sydney University student. I love the events organized by Campus Life and being involved in student clubs, which helps me to relax and be social.

I chose Western Sydney University because of the partnerships it has with different organisations therefore I saw an opportunity for me to network and do internships in those different organisations, one of the organisations is Price Waterhouse Coopers. I got the opportunity to get an offer to work as a casual for PWC which is quite exciting. Because of the support that we have been given and the encouragement for us to engage and network, I’ve been able to get all this opportunity and realise that there is more I can do if I just work hard.

A double degree is equal parts entertaining and challenging. The ability to learn both relevant technology along with quintessential accounting skills, broadens the horizons of the mind. I get to learn app building and programming while also learning the accounting systems and financial management. I have always been fascinated with creating technology based solutions for financial problems and this degree gives me the tools to unlock my dreams. The degree is in its essence, the best of both worlds, of IT and Business.

Western Sydney University is a great place to learn, develop and grow as a person. It offers me many opportunities, enables me to be part of the active social clubs while gaining knowledge in my field of study

"I learned the skills of interviewing a client and it was really fruitful for me to get the chance to understand what a social worker really does in practice."

"I feel that I have made the best choice - especially because of the technology-infused learning. I love the way the course is taught using a multimedia approach, and the fact that it has access to a whole online library, which we can use to read for tutorials and research assignments."

"The welcome from Australian students was great. WSU is the best campus in Australia, when it comes to technology and the use of video and audio in classes. It's amazing."

"The reason why I choose Western Sydney is that I went to the college and I got a feel of how uni life would be, and I really enjoyed this."

"I have had the opportunity to receive three different international scholarships to go to three different countries around the world."

"I guess the highlight of studying at WSU is just being able to use all of these amazing studios, you get the opportunity to experience a lot of different cultures and ideas, to be able to go on travel opportunities with the university, which is an amazing experience."

[WSU makes a difference by having a smaller number of students per class, which helps providing us with a more personalised education."
