Graduate Profile

The Business and Management course has developed skills and qualities that I am using on a daily basis in my work. I loved everything about the course. The group work was great - very challenging at times, but when it went right it was amazing. The mentoring from the Business and Management staff was faultless - all are very approachable and genuinely have your best interests at heart. By having the opportunity to work on real problems and case studies we, as a group of students, produced a business plan for a gym on campus which is actually being implemented now. I mean - what an awesome way to leave a mark on your university! Brendon Abood, graduated 2008.
