GRIFFITH ALUMNUS FINDS SUCCESS IN AUSTRIAAfter finishing his bachelor degree in his
native Colombia, Camilo Sanchez moved
to Brisbane to complete his Master of
International Business at Griffith. Camilo
said his time at Griffith was fundamental
in his future career. “The experience of
living abroad and getting along with so
many cultures while studying at Griffith
definitely opened my mind and broadened
my horizons,” he said.
After finishing his masters degree, Camilo
returned to Colombia where he started his
career working as a finance analyst with
multinational insurance broker, Willis.
“As I wanted to gain more experience
abroad and learn a third language, I took the
opportunity to move to Vienna, Austria and
stay with a friend I met during my Griffith
days,” he said.
There, Camilo was offered a position at an
international research institute, the Center
of Molecular Medicine of the Austrian
Academy of Sciences (CeMM). “At CeMM
I was responsible for the development of a
financial plan for a European Union project,”
he said.
Today, Camilo is still living in Vienna and
has just started a new role as Project
Controller at the Telecommunications
Research Centre.
“I was contacted in late 2013 to share my
success story with Trend Magazine, a very
important business magazine in Austria.
Each year they dedicate an edition to
success stories of high profile expats and I
was the youngest expat featured,” he said.

Working in a Study Abroad Agency in her home country
of Russia gave Alina Mitina the chance to liaise with
numerous educational institution representatives from
around the world.
“Griffith was definitely the most appealing,” she said,
“When I was offered the chance to enrol in a masters
program at Griffith, I looked at the Gold Coast campus
location and immediately fell in love with it.”
“When I first arrived on campus, I didn’t know anyone
so I went to the Student Centre and met a whole heap
of really helpful and friendly Griffith Mates,” she said,
“So when I saw them advertising, I decided to join them
so I could meet new people and help new international
students as I’ve been in their shoes.”

After completing a Bachelor of Psychology in the Philippines, 21-year-old Louise Dyan Maribao chose to undertake her postgraduate studies in Queensland “because of the good reputation Griffith University holds worldwide”.
“The best things about my masters degree would have to be the multicultural classes, group discussions, and all the activities that are provided to give me insight into real life workplace scenarios,” Louise said.

Undergraduate student Erika Menezes chose to study her double degree at Griffith University due to Griffith Law School’s reputation and the ability to combine her two interest areas of arts and law.
Under the tutelage of her honours supervisor, Professor William MacNeil, Erika is focusing her research in the interesting area of law and literature – in particular, how law is represented in Diana Wynne Jones’ Howl’s Moving Castle novels.
“Within both of my degrees, I have been lucky enough to have been taught by academics who are experts in their fields – most have an open door policy or are happy to arrange consultations, and are always welcoming and ready to help with questions and concerns.”
Along with her studies, Erika is an active member of Griffith’s Nathan campus community, volunteering as a student blogger for the University’s new international blog ‘Explore’, the Student Leadership Program with the Student Welfare and Liaison Office, undertaking student mentoring with the Griffith University Law Society, and as the Student Community Service Director for the Golden Key International Honour Society.
“I’m also a Griffith Mate and have been involved in student admin support and Orientation Week activities such as the Amazing Race,” she said.

Australia was on top of my study destinations list and a friend also recommended Griffith because of the quality of its programs. For me, the most interesting aspect of studying TESOL at Griffith is the diverse backgrounds of learners in the classroom. It is wonderful to have classmates from all over the world and discuss with them our own education systems and the English teaching environment.

Before studying at Griffith, Othman Almabrouk did four years of undergraduate study in environmental science, and worked for two and a half years as a technical lab assistant in his home country of Libya. Building on this knowledge, Othman enrolled in a Master of Environment Advanced (Environmental Protection) at Griffith’s Nathan campus.
“I was surprised by the quality of the advanced technology used in the classroom,” he said. “In my country, we just sit and listen to the teacher, but here we have projectors, interactive whiteboards and nice lecture theatres which help us to learn in a new, easy way,” Othman said.
As part of his studies, Othman completed several field trips off-campus where he got to put theory into practice. “I very much liked the practical parts of my studies at Griffith – getting to work in the real environment was the part I most liked about my degree,” he said.

For Imrenjeet Kaur Darshan Singh from Malaysia, the chance to gain a foreign degree coupled with the high possibility of obtaining an Australian-based position after graduation drew her to study at Griffith University.
The Bachelor of Nursing student completed a Diploma in Nursing, gained a Registered Nurse qualification and worked in a clinic in Malaysia before applying to Griffith.
“Australian university degrees are internationally recognised, offering graduates global opportunities in their desired work field,” Imrenjeet said, “In addition, the quality of academic standards makes Griffith an excellent educational experience and an attractive study option”.
“Griffith’s Bachelor of Nursing has really broadened my perspective of quality of care for patients and, with Australia’s aging population, these skills will be very much in demand in aged care facilities across the country,” she said.
Imrenjeet has fallen in love with the Brisbane lifestyle and wants to stay in the city after graduation to become part of a team of “respected and respectful nursing professionals”.
“The practical elements of my studies have taken me to many hospitals, care centres and aged care facilities throughout Brisbane and I have found it very interesting getting to know different nurses from various cultural backgrounds and seeing how they adapt to nursing care in Australia,” she said.
“Griffith has changed my perspective on nursing and for this, I can’t thank the university enough”, she said, Imrenjeet Kaur Darshan, Malaysia,

She says studying medicine at Griffith has equipped her with the skills and knowledge to work competently within the hospital team as well as independently.

Medical program alumnus Samarra Toby couldn’t be prouder of the growth of her alma mater. She was among the first cohort of Griffith medicine students to graduate in 2008, after the degree’s launch in 2005. Now a fully qualified general practitioner, Dr Toby says it was the Indigenous health program that attracted her to study medicine at Griffith. ‘It was a small cohort but we really benefited from the freshness of a newly launched program and the one-on-one time with lecturers,’ she said.

HUMANITIES AND LANGUAGES
After completing a Bachelor of Communication majoring in English Studies in Germany, Elisabeth Schoft applied to the Griffith Study Abroad Program to complete part of her postgraduate studies.
The 24-year-old from Mainz (near Frankfurt) is currently completing six months of her Master of Media Management with a focus on marketing at Griffith’s Nathan campus and admits university life is much more personal down under.
“My classes here are much smaller than they are back home and all my teachers know my name which is a great motivator and actually makes me work harder,” Elisabeth said, “My professors are quite demanding and I am constantly challenged and told to think outside the box, which is great!”
“Griffith really supports its international students,” she said, “I have lots of classes with international students and I really like that I’m in contact with lots of Australian locals as well as those from around the world”.
Elisabeth chose to study at Griffith University because of its interesting focus on marketing and business courses and liked the campus location close to Brisbane city.
Elisabeth says she has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Griffith University and has really appreciated the help she has received from the friendly Library Help Desk and Griffith International staff at the Nathan campus.Elisabeth Schoft, Germany, Study Abroad, Nathan

GRADUATES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY
If you’re engaged with any kind of music anywhere
in Australia, chances are a Conservatorium graduate
is playing a key role—whether that’s in composing,
arranging, recording, producing, teaching or performing.
From popular music to musical theatre or opera, from
jazz to chamber music, from vocal soloist to orchestral
member, our graduates are everywhere.
Freelance musician and guitar teacher Andrea Vocaturo from Italy is currently completing his PhD in Musical Arts (Jazz Composition and Arranging) at Griffith’s South Bank campus.
Having first moved to Brisbane in 2005 to study his Bachelor of Music at Griffith, Andrea’s passion for big sounds saw him relocate to New York City to study his Master of Arts in Music Performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College.
Andrea is passionate about music and said he returned to Griffith to complete his PhD studies due to the strong relationships he had built with Griffith’s teaching staff during his time as an undergraduate.
“I am currently furthering my skills as a composer and arranger for large jazz ensembles and get great guidance from my supervisors at South Bank along with access to a full big band in order to rehearse and test my musical compositions and arrangements,” Andrea said.
Andrea’s material will be recorded in the state-of-the-art facilities at Griffith’s South Bank campus and he hopes to one day have the chance to perform his compositions around Australia and perhaps even throughout the rest of the world.
“I really enjoy being part of Griffith’s PhD cohort – I love the vibrant and supportive environment – and am so excited to be furthering my career in music,” he said.

SCIENCE AND AVIATION
After arriving in Brisbane five years ago, Shabnam started her studies in Australia at QIBT where she completed a Diploma of Biosciences. With her credit from QIBT, she entered the second year of a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Griffith, which she completed before enrolling in her second undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Forensic Science.
“I love how my program is structured”, Shabnam said, “we have around 250 hours of laboratory work and many group assignments that have helped me develop my teamwork skills.”
Shabnam is also impressed by the support she receives from her teachers. “I can always approach my lecturers and tutors easily if I need help – I have often made appointments and met them during consultation times to get extra assistance,” she said.
Despite studying at the Nathan campus, Shabnam works on the Gold Coast and loves the relaxed, beach lifestyle there. “The Gold Coast is a multicultural community with lots of activities to do during the holidays,” she said.
“Plus, the weather here is perfect – never too hot or too cold.”

International student Larissa Dirr came from Germany to undertake her PhD at the Institute for Glycomics on Griffith’s Gold Coast campus. Larissa is exploring the parainfluenza virus which can cause severe respiratory tract infections in children and results in many hospitalisations around the world each year. She wants to understand what makes this virus so aggressive, how it infects cells and, potentially, how to block the virus. There are currently no effective drugs or vaccines against the parainfluenza virus.
Larissa has a pharmaceutical science background, which is why she is so interested in drug discovery and development. She had considered becoming a doctor but enjoyed her work in the lab so much she got the research “bug”. Larissa chose Griffith because the Institute for Glycomics is one of only six such glycoscience facilities in the world, and the only one of its type in Australia.
