  Masters of Marketing

• Why did you choose to study in Australia?

  I firmly believe in acquiring international exposure to succeed in ever changing dynamics of the modern day globalisation of markets. This belief has been strengthened further with my experience of my bachelor’s program in the UK.

• Why did you choose to study in Melbourne?

  I always believed that staying in the same place doesn’t help me to learn new things and grow. Coming back from London, I found Melbourne to be the correct choice for me as the place is more peaceful compared to London, which is always bustling. I also like the vibe in Melbourne.

• What is your favourite thing about being a student?

  Being a student you will be eligible for many discounts. You also have time to explore your city and different cuisines of food with your friends.

  The staff at Iglu are very helpful. Staying at Iglu and attending the events here has given me the opportunity to meet new people from different countries and make new friends.

  Always be compassionate and kind towards others. Practice gratitude and always believe that the best is yet to come. Think positive and aim higher.
