“Choosing Flinders was one of the best choices that I made in my life. After two years I am certain that I am not the same person who left Sri Lanka. I have improved both academically and personally. And the contribution of the Flinders community is immense in that.

The academic staff is always very understanding and compassionate towards international students. Knowing that support is always available in every possible way is very assuring given the circumstances of many international students who are far away from home and family.”

“The teaching support is very good here at Flinders, if I need help with my assignments, they are very happy to help. It’s a new culture, a new life and a really good experience.”

Ahmed Alruwaili,
Master of Mathematics, Saudi Arabia

“The lecturers were really helpful in discussions related to the topics, not only in chemistry but also in the current situation of technology and professional skills.

The course has prepared me to be more professional as a researcher, with the knowledge to solve current problems related to chemistry – such as environmental issues. I have become much more confident to participate in society to use innovative chemistry for a better life.

I was lucky enough to be supervised by Associate Professor Justin Chalker. He not only motivated me to do better in my course but also encouraged me to participate in the large-scale production of the material produced in the lab

I met new people who always encouraged me to take on new challenges, I’ve shared my experience, and established networks and opportunities.”

Alfrets Daniel Tikoalu,
Master of Science (Chemistry), Indonesia

“Flinders is an excellent choice due to its faculty members who are accomplished in their field and are dedicated to teaching the curriculum to industry standards.

This gives me peace of mind, knowing that what I study in university is directly applicable to my field after I graduate from university.

The topics that cover the most cutting-edge technology excites me most, especially the topic to do with remote sensing and photogrammetry where we learned how to extract 3D models from 2D aerial photographs taken with UAVs.

My advice for prospective students is to research into the academics and professors who will be teaching you and see if they will be a great fit for your own learning or research interests. And make the most of university resources and career hub workshops!”

Jasper Wong,
Master Geospatial Science, Singapore

“Research was the most exciting and challenging part of my degree; it was constant learning at each step, providing opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.

The guidance from the supervisors and the support from each staff of the department made my journey smooth. This has sharpened my skills and passion towards confidently choosing the research path. We were provided exposure and opportunity to interact with specialists in comparable areas through follow-up meetings, discussions, and presentations at the Centre for Marine Biotechnology Department (CMBD), which was an amazing factor.

In Flinders, the course has been designed to cover the main aspects of the Biotechnology Industry including interaction with external industry-based personnel with expertise in financial management, patenting and intellectual property, and marketing for case studies.”
