International student Tianqi Yang from China

My name is Yang Tian Qi and I graduated from the University of South Australia (UniSA) with a Bachelor of Marketing in 2015.  Before I enrolled at UniSA, I studied at the International Australian Academy.  I had wonderful study experiences and fond memories of my time at IAA.  I will never forget the friendly and helpful trainers, support and admin staff.  Studying at IAA made me feel like I was at home in 2013-2014 and I made good progress every day with my all levels of study at IAA.
I was very grateful for getting so much help from the IAA staff when I really needed their help. Here I need to mention that the articulation arrangement between IAA and UniSA is very beneficial to students. I benefited directly from this arrangement. After I graduated from IAA and enrolled at UniSA, I only needed to study another two years instead of three years. Thanks to the articulation arrangement between two education providers. Now I have PR already and use the knowledge I learned to set up my own company(Furche Wines Pty Ltd). My company is involved with exporting wine to overseas which can help Australia's economy. I think that's the best way to show my gratitude to everyone who helped me when I was a student and to the country I am living in now which I will always love.”
