Why did you choose UTS for your studies in Business?
My cadetship recommended business at UTS because of the flexibility to work and study co-currently. I’ve been able to get practical experience during my degree, and have participated in extra activities like the CFA Institute Research Challenge.
What is the best thing about your degree?
My lecturers have been really great. They really help you if you want to do something a bit different or ambitious for an assignment. David Michayluk has been great. I completed an internship with him last year, and he’s always giving us advice and incentives on ways to get involved and build our experience.
What would your advice be for someone who is looking at studying Business at UTS?
Try and think long term. The degree really makes you employable not only through its content, but the flexibility in timetabling means you get to participate in things you might not otherwise be able to.
