Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) (Top-up)
RMIT University Graduate (2020)
As a professional technician, I know that employers value the experience we bring to the table. So when I shared with my company my wish to pursue a Mechanical Engineering Degree from RMIT University at Kaplan, they offered to sponsor me for the full programme.
I have learnt skills that were beyond theory in textbooks. With every assignment, I had ample opportunities to uncover real-world, problem-solving skills and applicable knowledge such as Mechanical Design, which I can easily relate to my job needs at any time.

Bachelor of Business in Banking and Finance (Double Major)
Murdoch University Graduate (2020)
I decided to further my studies as I believe that formal education is required to understand managing a company. Through a great consultation provided by Kaplan, I chose Murdoch University as they offer a lot of learning support, and I felt more confident studying with them to achieve my educational goals.
I opted for a Double Major Degree as I believe doing so opens more career paths and would improve my job prospects. I selected the Banking and Finance specialisations as I often work with banks and other financial institutions and knowing how they operate helped me understand my clients better. Studying this Degree has introduced me to various financial concepts such as budgeting and financial analysis.
As a part-time student, Murdoch University made studying easy for me. Lessons were evenly spread across alternate weeks and I had the flexibility to choose when I wanted my lesson to be. This ensured that I could plan my work schedule in advance to avoid clashes. If I needed support, the Student Support team always responded quickly to resolve any situation.
I feel that the lecturers are professional, sharing their work experience as a reference for us on several subjects. I truly appreciate their time spent helping me on many occasions and going out of their way to answer my queries even after lessons.
Taking a Double Major Degree is what I recommend. It strongly enhances your employability potential, makes it easier to get a job after graduating and provides you a competitive advantage through showcasing your competency in two different fields.
I have recommended quite a few of my friends and colleagues to study with Murdoch. With its flexible study schedules for part-time students, experienced lecturers and recognised accreditation, I could not ask for more.
