"The academics in the Accounting faculty I have come into close contact with from the honours program are far from the stereotypical accountant; they have character and wit. The entire faculty has been tremendously supportive throughout my honours year, and have pushed me both academically and intellectually.

"Bachelor of Business at UTS was the most appealing degree of all the Sydney universities. It had flexibility in its course structure in terms of combining majors with sub-majors and electives, and freedom over one’s selection of subjects. UTS Business has a great reputation in industry and is well placed as a top business school in Australia.

"UTS is incredibly diverse, providing the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in a broad range of areas. My degree helped me to realise my core strengths and capabilities and relate this knowledge to deciding on appropriate future direction based on my experience in a wide range of areas. As a result of my degree I have now learnt what professionally excites me: problem-solving work; interaction with clients and colleagues; the communication of ideas; and the power to make an impact."
