University stories
A different approach to learning
“I learnt more in the first six weeks at university than in my
three years in polytechnic. The way I was taught in Singapore was
to memorise but in Australia I was made to think, analyse and come
up with solutions. I was happy that I was learning, rather than
memorising, and did well in my studies.”
- Johnny is studying a Bachelor of Commerce in
Marketing.
‘Makes you an international citizen’
“My education in Australia has helped me to think critically,
plan strategically and act practically. But an international
education goes beyond that – it makes you a better person as well
as a good international citizen. It makes you knowledgeable,
provides zest to achieve your goals, as well as strive for
excellence, and is the seed for a better future for yourself, as
well as for a better world.”
- Indian student, George, studied Management in
International Business.
‘Satisfied my curiosity for research’
“My university experience in Australia was greatly enjoyable and
unforgettable. Primarily it exposed me to some very beautiful ideas
and theories, and certainly allowed me to indulge in my passion and
satisfy my curiosity for research.”
- Kim studied a PhD in Australia.
Insight into other cultures
“As an Accounting major, my experience in Australia provided me
with the ability to relate more to other cultures and to see the
way they view international business practices. This experience
helped me develop my leadership qualities and has given me a
greater sense of maturity. It has provided me with insight,
therefore making me a better candidate for a job.”
- Charlene studied a Bachelor of Business in
Accounting.

teaching standards, an approachable faculty, flexible learning and
a fantastic atmosphere to grow in.”
