Bachelor of Communication in Global Media and Communication and Strategic Communication (Double Major)
Murdoch University Student (2021)
I had previously attained a Diploma in Hotel & Leisure Facilities Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Through that, I gained direct entry into the 2nd year of my Degree programme with Murdoch University in 2019 and expect to graduate in 2021.
I chose to study with Murdoch University as it has reputable alumni in the fields I hope to join upon graduation. Besides, many companies do acknowledge graduates from the University, where the modules offered in its Degree programmes focus on practicality, with insights into the industry. Murdoch University’s flexible study schedule and the way it encourages independent learning suit me better, given the limited time I have juggling different commitments.
Additionally, I am the current President of the Murdoch Singapore-Institute of Public Relations of Singapore (IPRS) Student Chapter. All students who take Public Relations (now referred to as Strategic Communication) Degrees will receive a one-year membership to the IPRS Student Chapter upon graduation. Personally, being in the committee has given me great networking opportunities and strengthened my leadership skills. I can look back proudly on these experiences as I advance in my career. As such, it has been one of my biggest takeaways from the programme.
Murdoch University is competitive in terms of Degree recognition, educational experience, modules and double major options offered, and affordability and I would recommend the University to students and working professionals.

Murdoch University Graduate (2021)
I was driven to pursue a Postgraduate Degree for personal development. It has helped me to reassess my thought process and develop a more critical approach to problem solving. The programme has worked very effectively towards making me a more disciplined future business leader, as it gave me perspective and helped me equip myself with better instincts.
By studying for a Postgraduate Degree, I have developed skills such as business management and entrepreneurship, business strategy and leadership management, time management, research, presentation and writing. The programme has helped me to work within a team and consider different perspectives.
Working and studying at the same time can be really challenging, but the outcome is fulfilling. I would advise those thinking of taking up a Postgraduate Degree to be mentally prepared, determined and enjoy the learning process.
