What brought you to Adelaide?
I opted for Adelaide because it is renowned for being one of the world’s most liveable cities (Global Liveability Index) coupled with the relaxed atmosphere that the city has to offer, which suited my ideal lifestyle. Adelaide provides me with a peaceful vibe which I’m looking for in a place to study for my university life. I have been enjoying life in Adelaide so far and gradually adapting to everything.
Adelaide is extremely easy for students like me, to navigate and move around, with easy and quick access to and from the city, hills, beaches, and beyond. It’s pretty convenient for students to catch the bus to the university. Also, I fell in love with Adelaide because there are numerous gorgeous beaches along the city within 20-30 minutes by bus.”
How has your student journey at Flinders been?
Studying at Flinders has been my “best choice ever"
I largely credit my positive experience to the variety of student support networks and the welcoming Flinders community. Flinders is like my second home, where I’ve met like-minded friends, been taught by enthusiastic topic coordinators, and had supportive staff from Flinders. I wouldn’t have had an amazing experience studying at Flinders University without assistance from student support, namely from International Student Services (ISS).”
I've been able to connect with the vibrant international student community at Flinders and have an amazing on-campus experience throughout my studies. Flinders is a great university because of its good student support system. Flinders never leaves you behind, as they always provide the best student services to quickly respond to your problems.
What do you have to say about the facilities at Flinders?
The support offered at Flinders also comes in the way of its unique and modern facilities. Studying at the Bedford Park campus provides a picturesque and community-driven base for students to thrive. Flinders facilities are wonderful, especially the library which is open 24/7, so it’s convenient for us to study when it comes to deadline time.
With Flinders City Campus now open, business students like me also have the opportunity to study in the heart of Adelaide’s central business district and immerse in industry from the very start of their degree.
How has Flinders made you 'career ready'?
A key focus for all Flinders’ degrees is ensuring students graduate career-ready and equipped with the practical skills needed to be successful in the workplace. For me, this meant an opportunity to undertake a placement at one of Australia’s leading family jewelers.
Thanks to Flinders, I was offered to work in a professional working environment to pursue my major within a 150-hour internship. After working there, I now understand what I need to do and am self-oriented for my upcoming career path in marketing. Opportunities to immerse in real-life working environments have sparked my passion to delve deeper into the world of marketing. I hope to transition into a master’s degree and expand on my knowledge and skills within the high-demand field.
In the next five years, I see myself as an entrepreneur for my own business using my marketing abilities to promote and support other departments.
