Why were you drawn to Adelaide as your study destination?
I was drawn to Adelaide as a major city due to its affordability compared to other Australian cities, educational institutions, convenient transportation, vibrant cultural hub, and serene surroundings. One of the highlights of living in Adelaide has been its proximity to stunning beaches.
The availability of beautiful coastal areas like Glenelg and Henley Beach has provided me with serene and picturesque spots for relaxation and leisure activities.
What made you choose Flinders?
I chose Flinders due to its strong reputation for media studies, faculty expertise, research opportunities, supportive community, industry, and more. Most importantly, Flinders offered a perfectly tailored pathway that aligned with my career objectives. The emphasis on hands-on learning and research opportunities, coupled with innovative teaching methods, provided a dynamic and forward-thinking environment that resonated with my learning preferences
What do you have to say about the student experience at Flinders?
A positive and supportive student experience was key to my decision for choosing to study at Flinders, and I was instantly attracted to the welcoming environment Flinders offers. Flinders International Student Services (ISS) offers meet and greet services, support with transitioning to life in Australia, and provides an inclusive student life with several culture and community events across the year to partake in.
The cultural diversity within the student body not only broadened my horizons but also enriched my academic and social experiences. Engaging in various cultural events and exchange programs allowed me to share my background while learning from others, creating lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.” Outside of the vibrant student community and dedicated support services offered by the university, I was impressed by the academic support provided by lecturers and teachers within my course. This support is enhanced by the smaller class sizes, facilitating personalised interactions and a more engaging atmosphere.
What's next?
The interdisciplinary approach to learning, emphasis on practical application, and exposure to industry insights have significantly broadened my perspective, arming me with the tools to navigate real-world challenges in the field.
With a particular passion for video production, content creation, and digital media management, I am hoping to leverage my studies in media and communication to thrive and create a sustainable career within these fields. With the desire to continuously learn and contribute to projects that resonate globally, I have big dreams for a future in media.
I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and confident that the solid foundation laid at Flinders University will empower me to realise my dream of establishing a successful and fulfilling media production company within the next five years.
