“The city of Sydney was very important in my choice to do my Master’s degree here at UTS. Since I study business and finance, it was important to me to study in an international metropolis with multinational businesses and cultures. This city has a lot of things to offer, not only regarding career and education prospects, but also for everyday life and free time.
"The focus on assignments and written tasks in the Master’s degree improves your ability to think scientifically, and your ability to deal with projects in detail and under your own responsibility. This will definitely help graduates to gain challenging positions with responsibility and leading prospects right from the start.
"I think the most useful thing I've learned during my studies is how to work on a project in a group containing people of different nationalities and cultures. Obviously there's a different understanding of communication and productivity, and it is important to find a way to work that suits everyone's ideas and opinions.
"The reputation of UTS Business School sets its students apart. For students from overseas, it is definitely a huge advantage to have a degree from a university in a huge city in an English speaking country when applying for jobs in Europe or elsewhere. Besides the educational aspect, it shows confidence and the ability to go abroad and leave your home country alone to make an important step in your life. I think most employers appreciate that.”
