"An opportunity to work with an emerging tech team"
In my robotics engineering internship, I worked in the emerging technology team at a consulting firm in Bangalore, India. I was given the opportunity to program a drone tour guide that could show visitors and clients around the company’s large campus. It was valuable to work under the guidance of smart engineers and execute a real project from scratch.
"I am loving my role and feel empowered"
QUT’s Master of Education allowed me to explore many aspects relevant to the guidance and counselling process. I was able to connect with and learn from knowledgeable and approachable lecturers and tutors that inspired me to delve further into my learning. The highlight of the course was being exposed to interesting, realistic and relevant subjects, where I was given the flexibility to research specific topics of interest. I am loving my role as a Guidance Officer and feel empowered to continually utilise and draw upon the knowledge and skills gained from my QUT masters degree.
"Given me confidence in my workplace"
Studying the Graduate Certificate in Business gave me the credibility that I needed to pivot my career. Developing new ways of collaborating with my lecturers and peers, and the learning opportunities we were given in class, have given me confidence in my workplace. I’d recommend QUT’s Graduate Certificate in Business to anyone looking for a depth of learning that will build your confidence, knowledge and network of industry connections. This course offers a lot in a short period of time and propels you into your chosen specialisation.
"Develop valuable industry-relevant skills"
I view university differently now because I have the motivation and drive behind my studies. I can see what my career path looks like, and I have a clear picture of how I will get there. This course has allowed me to develop valuable industry-relevant skills to prepare me to start my new career. I plan to take these skills into the workforce which will allow me to create meaningful digital experiences with a focus on accessibility and emerging technologies.
"Student life on campus has been a highlight"
The data science industry is booming now. I chose to study data science because I knew that once I graduated, I’d get a job. My highlight at QUT so far has been the student life on campus and hanging out with friends between classes.
"Reignited my passion for learning"
I worked as a refrigeration technician for ten years before hitting a glass ceiling as a sole trader. I had a great client base and was excelling in my business. However, I found myself craving new challenges and greater mental stimulation. That's when I decided to take a leap of faith and go to university. It was a difficult decision, but I am so grateful that I did it. Not only did it reignite my passion for learning, but it also helped me to develop my critical and strategic thinking skills. The decision to go back to school has opened up new opportunities and pathways for me that I never thought possible. Enrolling in university was the best decision I could have made for myself and my future.
