Benjamin Gad

What motivated you to study this degree/major?
I studied predominately science subjects in high school but always wanted to apply the problem solving skills I attained in studying these subjects to a discipline outside of science. The double degree enabled me to harness my critical thinking skills and apply these attributes to problems in business.

What do you enjoy most about your degree?
The double degree in Business and Medical Science provides a great deal of variety. Rarely did I spend a whole day attending solely business or science classes.

Why did you choose to study at UTS?
In year 12 my chemistry class was invited to UTS Science to go on a tour of the science building and facilities. I was impressed with the facilities and the philosophy the academics had towards teaching. They prioritised analytical thinking and attaining skills not just developing a bank of knowledge.

What is it like to study at UTS Science?
The Faculty of Science at UTS is comprised of a mix of people from different backgrounds with differing perspectives. In turn, studying science at UTS is interesting and engaging because you are constantly having pre-conceived notions challenged.

What would you like to do once you complete by your degree? 
In my penultimate year I spent my summer undertaking a vacation program with a large accounting firm and was subsequently offered a graduate position with them.
