Eugenie Wong, MelbourneCourse: Bachelor of International Business

“As an international student, sometimes I find it hard to follow traditional lectures. However, with the flipped classroom model the lessons are delivered online and are easy to follow. Then I attend workshops to deepen my understanding of the concepts. The lecturers are willing to take a close look at my work which helps me develop. I really like the course structure too because we study three times per year, meaning I will finish in two years. Also, studying in the city is great, there’s a large variety of food around and lots of amazing places to hang out after class.”
