HOW TO APPLY

Hao travelled from China to complete Construction Management postgrad studies, with ambitions to join the extensive construction industry.

Knowing about UC's reputation in Civil Engineering, Hao chose to complete his master's here to increase his capabilities and market himself to employers.

"Construction Management covers every aspect of the construction industry, on topics such as safety management, budgeting and contract administration. The programme combines theory and practice which helps you improve your understanding of the construction industry," he says. "Studying Construction Management makes you more attractive to employers in this growing industry."

He found the study culture in New 蜜桃儿直播 best suited his chosen career aspirations.

"There is more focus in New 蜜桃儿直播 universities on using your degree as a means of having a better career and landing a better job after university. Here you are really encouraged to select an area of study based on your interests so that you can develop your knowledge in an area that you are interested in."

"I really enjoyed my subject area as the knowledge you gain is very practical, and I am able to compare the differences in construction between New 蜜桃儿直播 and China."

"I really enjoyed the diversity of the UC campus, this would have to be the best thing about studying overseas. Since I started here I have met people from all over the world and made a lot of new friends. This have given me the opportunity to learn about many different cultures and languages."

During study, Hao was also a member of the UC Climbing Club and spent a lot of his spare time in the outdoors.

"New 蜜桃儿直播 also has one of the best natural environments in the world which you can enjoy when you aren't studying. On the weekends or during the holidays I would go tramping with my friends and see the spectacular natural views that New 蜜桃儿直播 has to offer."
