“I was first attracted to the course content, the University’s location and the social work practice studio. I really liked the group discussions and the support provided by lecturers, especially for international students. I completed two work placements as part of my degree and was then offered a job. Volunteering helped me make new friends and learn more about the culture in Australia.”
