“I had a really good study experience at Flinders University. 

Everything I studied was interesting! In addition to the study of theoretical knowledge, I also had many opportunities for practice. Especially for our profession, the school provided a lot of photographic and film equipment. I was very fortunate to have an internship in a film production company while I studied.

I really like Flinders University, here you can find a major that you are passionate about, very friendly lecturers in the class – and you can find your future direction.”
