Nina
Norway
Institution: Bond University
Nina is very happy with the quality
of education she is receiving in Australia. She appreciates the
“totally different way of studying” in Australia, and likes the fact
that her assessment involves a combination of exams, oral presentations
and written assignments.
Nina’s reasons for choosing Australia as
her study destination include the “good reputation” that Australian
institutions have overseas, and the fact that she can complete her
studies “much faster than in Norway.”
In addition, Nina’s
current specialisation, dispute resolution, is not offered in Norway.
This specialisation therefore provides Nina with a qualification that is
rare among others in her field at home: “Not many people have this
specialisation in dispute resolution back in Norway, and therefore it
makes my CV more special.”
As well as her studies, Nina is also a
big fan of life in Australia and feels very much at home here. Nina
enjoys Australia’s “nice weather,” “very nice social environment,” and
the affordable cost of living and studying. In fact, she likes it so
much she is already thinking about the next Australian course she will
take.
“I definitely feel at home. I want to stay here much
longer and I will definitely come back later. I would like to take a
masters in economics as well.”
To other people considering
studying in Australia Nina’s advice couldn’t be clearer: “Do not
hesitate! You should definitely go. You will not regret, and you will
have good memories for the rest of your life. You only live once, and
life is short.”
