Student Testimonials

“I had classmates from 14 different countries so working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and sharing information with them gave me a very wide perspective of things, and that has broadened my horizons. I’d recommend students coming here.... it’s about the university, the environment, the faculty, the resources you have....you can learn a lot and take your career to another level.”

Naj, Master of International Public Health – University of Sydney website.

“I chose Sydney for its fantastic global reputation in student experience and research. With the support of the University of Sydney Union and the University, I founded INCUBATE, a start-up accelerator program that helps student entrepreneurs launch their first business.”

James, Bachelor of Computer Science – University of Sydney website.

"I chose Sydney based on the calibre of its teaching staff. Unlike other programs, which 'invite' industry guests along for the occasional lecture, industry professionals and world-leading academics teach the subjects....the knowledge I’ve gained has already allowed me to complete research for a top retailer, providing valuable insights and recommendations."

Josh, Master of Marketing - University of Sydney website.
