I chose to study Economics at UQ because I am interested in understanding the ways in which society functions, and how it can improve. An Economics degree is broad; it covers many different theoretical areas and has thus has many applications in the workforce. I am confident that with a degree in Economics, I will not only have the opportunities to work in my field of interest, but also the flexibility to enjoy a multi-dimensional career.
Being interested in economics, I chose to undertake Economics at UQ simply because it is one of the top universities in Australia. In addition, the UQ School of Economics is one of the leading schools in Australia. Once I've started doing Economics degree at UQ, I found that the school provides a wide range of economics courses, which would allow me to explore and specialize in my area of interest. The professional teaching staff of the school and the outstanding peers from different nations always provide me with an incentive to strive for the best throughout my life in the university. Given the fact that I've gained so much assistance from the staff in doing my thesis during my honours year, I strongly feel that the school values their students a lot.
UQ School of Economics was my ultimate choice for Master of Business Economics as this university has an excellent ranking in Economics and it provides top class facilities for students. UQ also has a range of qualified academic staff and they provide all possible means of support in achieving higher standards of understanding and practicing economics in the real world. The cultural diversity in UQ gives us an outstanding environment to learn and understand the differences around the world. UQ brings the world into one place.
When you think about University, you think of it as the place where you are going to build the foundation of the skills and knowledge which will be required through a lifelong career. Indeed, in an increasingly competitive world, this foundation needs to be solid enough to improve your critical analysis as well as the ability to give creative solutions to our everyday problems. In this sense, I realized that the University of Queensland provided all the tools I needed to be successful in this challenge: highly qualified lecturers who give me not only the theory, but a clear understanding of reality; a program which continuously challenges you and demands no less than your best; and a supportive and kind administrative staff, which combined with resourceful libraries gives you everything you need to excel at your duties. Now I am confident to affirm that I will be a highly successful professional, contributing to enhance our social welfare.
I'm Thuto and I study at UQ. I chose this institution because of its known reputation for excellence and, from the feedback I received from people who had studied here before. UQ exceeded my expectations both academically and socially. As an international student, I appreciated its welcoming atmosphere that caters for a variety of needs.
