University of Canberra- practical & student orientated.

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!”
