“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

“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”.
