Meet Wenyu, Master of Social Work student

“Looking into the learning journey with Flinders University, I think they do a great job in balancing the teaching distribution of theory and practice which will be delivered.

In my placements I worked with children and young people in a multi-disciplinary working environment that includes teaching staff, wellbeing leaders, Pastoral Care Workers, Aboriginal Community Education Officers, parents and other relevant professions.

These practical working experiences give me the understanding of how the focuses of different parties can impact on the assessment and decision-making process, and influence on children and young people’s future development."

“

All the lecturers that I have met so far are very much understanding and friendly.

They have given me space to talk and share my ideas. Also, whenever necessary, they have helped me out. These are the best things a student can get in a learning space.

Rajul Huda Dipto, Master of Social Work
