“I enjoy the life in Ballarat where I never feel lost and lonely. Ballarat
is a very clean, green and safe city. Here I walk along the streets,
enjoy the fresh and clean atmosphere and feel safe. From the
bottom of my heart, how friendly and kind people I have here are.
I have Australian friends who are always available at anytime to
support me and stand by me whenever there is something wrong
or difficulty to me. I am happy and never feel isolated in a new
country. I was impressed by the first time I came here. With free
airport pick up, I was welcome friendly on arrival with Welcome
pack and city tour. I was given cookies after a long flight and a
tour around the city to get used to everything. I felt warm and
moved from such a small thing.

Compared to Melbourne or big cities, it is reasonable to live here


with low cost of living. Here I have a good life and unforgettable
memories when I had fun in camping trip and experienced
Australian life in a bush with smell of gum trees and the salt
of the seas in Lorne, Geelong.

I love the University of Ballarat (UB). When I studied here, I really


enjoyed and love UB where I met friendly and helpful lecturers and
tutors who are always available to hear and support me with study
and life problems. I love my classes and tutorials which are not over
crowded but small enough so that I can receive enough care and
attention from the teachers who can even remember my name
and my characteristics.

If anyone ever asks me how Ballarat is, I will definitely be proud


to say out loud that IT IS AWESOME! You should come
and experience.”

passionate teachers, and deserves the reputations one enjoys. Vivid lectures make
me love my major more; responsible and friendly teachers help me overcome the
difficulty in both course and language.
Like Ballarat city, UB offers a sustainable future and enjoyable lifestyle and provides
lots of activities for students at uni. The International Student Support Office provides
abundant activities as well. e.g. Trips, Campaigns, Parties etc. Australia is a multi-
cultural country. I met some great friends here, and we always look out for each other,
and offer help if needed. Im sure our friendships will continue beyond our studies and
we will remain in contact even after we have returned to our home countries.
What’s more, Ballarat is centrally located near Melbourne, and there are lots of
beaches nearby. It is a wonderful location. We can either travel to the city or the
beach in one hour. I enjoy every single day here.

“When I enrolled in the Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) at the


University of Ballarat, I expected that having a Masters’ degree would change my
life for the better in many ways, mostly in terms of how the outside world would
look at me - and it has! What I did not expect is how profoundly my life changed
internally. Indeed, I feel that I have received full value-added learning from the
University of Ballarat.
And now that I have completed my study, I would like to say that my long-term goals
involve growing with a top accounting firm in Australia where I can continue to learn,
take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can. Indeed, I’d
love to have a career that would allow me to be able to give back to the community.
I have had many reasons for returning to study, some personal and some career
motivated. Actually, I was looking for an opportunity to improve my career
prospects, and to learn more about a subject which I was interested in.
I chose UB because of their course offer, their reputation, and their attitude towards
students. The quality of the professors gives it a high academic level with their strong
business experience and abilities. I’ve had the privilege to be taught by professors who
really care about my academic progress, which I have benefited from immensely.
The University of Ballarat encourages you to search for practical work in your field of
study in order to compliment the theory. And in particular, the School of Business,
not only offers a quality program with excellent academic staff and superior resources
that are recognised across the globe, it is also immersed in a culture of strong
relationships that extends into industry and across the university campus”.

“Studying IT at UB could not have been a better choice. The School of Information
Technology is full of professional and experienced staff who are tremendously
approachable and this allows a student to feel at home. I owe a true debt of
gratitude to the helpful staff at UB (ITMS), who never failed to help me when I
needed them most.
The education I received from UB is invaluable. At first I was concerned about the
amount of work and time commitment needed, however, flexibility of the program’s
structure made it possible.
There are many great aspects to studying at UB, in particular, the large
infrastructure with a laid back lifestyle. I graduated from UB in July 2008 with a
Masters of Information Technology. With all the support from the staff, I was able to
kick start my career in IT.
Ballarat is the most beautiful city in Victoria with its unique attractions and safe
environment. You would feel the comfort of being at home. Cost of living is very
economical and most importantly, affordable for international students. I can’t wait
for that one day in a year snow!
I started my career in IT as a Systems Administrator in 2009 for an Association
Management firm in Melbourne. With the knowledge and experience I gained from
UB, I was able to move up the ladder in my company’s management structure as a
Systems Manager in 16 months.
I would recommend UB to anyone who is willing to work hard and wish to be
challenged. I found there was a unique one-to-one type of interaction in UB”.
