University of Canberra- practical & student orientated.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 0 comments

The title here reflects what I feel when I look at the teachers and students at UC and compare them to other universities in Australia. It’s practical; it’s focused and ensures that students are prepared for the job market. Every year the University of Canberra attracts many employers, many international students and brings a large diverse bunch together. That diversity ensures a friendly and vibrant environment for everyone to learn a lot from one another. The university provides many services for the students other than providing education such as giving advice and help to students whom are looking for jobs. Other than that they have speakers coming in regularly to market their firms and explaining why UC students should apply there.

Having studied at the University of Canberra for more than a year now I find the teachers and the staff very helpful and understanding. Most of the lecturers here go out of their way to ensure that the students are comfortable with what they have learned. The education provided at UC is very practical and the application or approach taken by lecturers is such that it is very easy to understand the actual implementation of the lesson learned in the real world; I personally think that’s why UC is such a good place to learn as education gets more interesting when you can see its application.

As an International Student Ambassador and a Residential Assistant on ress, I tend to meet many students and I learned that the majority of the students are very satisfied with the University and its teachers. They consider it friendly, supportive and fun.

The University has recently refurbished it main cafeteria and its upgrading its facilities throughout campus. I personally think that the University of Canberra is a great place to study as it gives you loads of opportunities to broaden your skills, polish your character and to glow! As we say it here at UC “your mind is not a vessel but a fire to be kindled!”

Hi guys, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kit, a second year Law student at University of Canberra origin from Malaysia. The purposed of blogging is to share my experience with you at University of Canberra and guess what? Being at UC is the most pleasurable time. It was priceless and stress -less to see kangaroos hoping on campus while I am cracking my head for assignments. Being a student at University of Canberra, you could capture moments of true nature. It’s so rewarding where you could see cuddly rabbits and kangaroos while you have worked so hard for your studies. UC does not only equip their students with academics but as well as good nature greens on campus. You could smell the refreshing greens and flowers every corner on campus while you are on campus whilst, it exceptionally unbelievable to have an environmental friendly campus. Nonetheless, in terms of academic facilities, you could not be deprived from the facilities provided. Most amazing of all, UC has a mock court on campus, enable students to advocate in a real life experience.
Socially, you get to mix along with the locales easily whether you are in class or off class. At you UC, we can hang out for lunch at cafés or restaurants on campus while waiting for the next class. Imagine yourself online with your family back home while you are surrounded by excellent environment with touch of wireless everywhere on campus. For some fitness fanatic, UC provides gym memberships and with free indoor soccer and even basketball for all. There are lots of activities organized each week for all. In a nut shell, there is no reason you couldn’t enjoy studying at UC!

Dragon Boating & Wine Harvest Festival

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 0 comments

Hi everyone, I just like to share some wonderful experience in Canberra.
Usually April is a festival season here. In the past week there was a dragon boat competition in Lake Burley Griffin and the final match was held on Sunday 3 April. It was such a nice weather and thousands of people including players visitors gathered. Nearly 2200 players from all over Australia joined the match. We saw teenagers as well as grandmas (and they are peddling fast) wooh!~ The drummer shouted and bended with the beat and she looks like a rock star, what a hard work... Even as an audience, we can feel the exciting atmosphere. By the way, a small "accident" occurred when two groups were pretty close to each other and water from the paddles quickly went to another one, then suddenly it sinked. Safety guard came and helped moving water outside. On later rounds, other teams learn from the lesson and we see in some boats with a player especially responsible for taking the water from the boat.

Last weekend, there was also a wine harvest festival in the countryside, just up to 35mins drive from Canberra. But pity that this year I was not able to go, so maybe next year ^^.

Here is the link of the gallery of this from Canberra Dragon Boats Association:


cheers
