FedUni is a participating institution in the prestigious Australia Awards scholarships scheme. Current recipient Soimali Fernandes who is studying the Master of Professional Accounting shares her thoughts about University life and what the scholarship means to her. My time at FedUni so far has been really good. I have adapted to this new student-life and made new friends. Most lecturers want to help the students get a better grade, therefore students always seek them out, no matter the problem. Building on my previous work experience in Timor-Leste, my goal is to acquire the experience to become an internal auditor, a management accountant or even a forensic accountant. My chosen course will provide me with an accounting degree from a country with a strong tradition in accounting theory and practice and give me the skills to work effectively with a number of qualified certified practicing accountants and chartered accountants currently in Timor-Leste. Not only that, I will be eligible to enter the CPA and CA in both Australia and/or New Zealand. Upon completion of my degree I want to work in an organisation directly under a certified practicing accountant or a chartered accountant from Australia or New Zealand. In doing this I will acquire the necessary skills and experience to achieve my professional goals. The scholarship awarded by DFAT has been a step closer on the achievement of this goal. 16 INTERNATIONAL COURSE GUIDE | 2017 | FEDERATION UNIVERSIT Y AUSTRALIA Be inspired by our graduates Your connection with FedUni does not end when you graduate.

When I arrived, I was amazed at the amount of support that was available for students and also a very active international student presence. While I did not have enough time to partake in all of the on and off campus activities, due to study commitments, I knew that if I wanted any assistance, I could easily get all the support needed. The Federation Business School has very generous staff, including teaching and non-teaching staff members who were always there to give me support even beyond academic support. It is an honor to have met so many incredible people during my journey at Federation University Australia, and also the fact that I am the first DBA candidate of Federation University Australia to finish and submit my final thesis is something that I am extremely proud of. I couldn’t have done this without the support of the Federation Business School staff members.

The advanced computer labs, library, career development hub, learning skills department, international student support and faculties are well organised and appreciable. There is nothing the University has missed to provide to its students. I’ve also had a very pleasing academic experience. All of our classes consist of less than 25 students which enables us to receive individual attention from our faculty. Most of our teachers including our MPA course coordinator have an open door policy, which assists students to seek clarification for their academic queries easily. The faculties, in particular Gavin Hurst, also play a key role in building our profile as a professional by directing us towards internships and other career oriented programs throughout the course. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Talia Barrett, the senior skills Adviser, who helped me a lot with my assignments and academic skills. 26 INTERNATIONAL COURSE GUIDE | 2017 | FEDERATION UNIVERSIT Y AUSTRALIA Master of Professional Accounting Master of Business Administration Campus: Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat), Online/Off-campus Campus: Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat), Online/Off-campus CRICOS Code: 085211G Duration: 2 years Intake: Feb, July Fees: $27,600 Entry requirements: • Overall IELTS band score of 6.0, with no band less than 6.0 or equivalent • This course is intended for applicants with an undergraduate degree in a non-accounting discipline or for people who have significant experience working in accounting and who now wish to attain a high-level qualification in this area.

We would often study theory in the lecture and then practically apply it afterwards. This was a great way to learn and different to experiences in China, which is usually theory driven. I liked the hands on tutorials where tutors really supported students. Most lecturers had an open door policy and you could go and ask them questions which was very helpful. I loved Y Building, you can talk to lecturers in their offices, the building is carbon free and from an engineer’s perspective, designed well with easy access to classrooms and lecturer theatres.

Coming from a bustling city, Singapore, I have never imagined that I will be studying in a regional university but I have not regretted studying at FedUni.

When I first commenced I was scared and anxious for my assessments. But, FedUni provides lots of support for international students. One of my favourite and the most useful program for me is the International Language Support, which has helped me a lot when I met any difficulties. Furthermore, FedUni offers lots of activities for international students. I like FedUni – in particular, the environment is a very harmonious atmosphere for learning. The surrounding scenery on campus is beautiful and relaxing. Every day we are smiling, everybody is very happy when they meet to talk. 48 I’m studying the Master of Social Work (Qualifying) course. The program suited all my needs as the courses that I wanted to study were a part of the curriculum. The most important advantage of the program is that it is a qualifying course and does not need a separate accreditation once the course is complete. Also, being a regional University, I got the added advantage. I love to explore regional and rural areas. With this course, I want to develop communities and explore everything that this awesome Kangaroo nation has to offer. The best thing about the Mt Helen Campus is the greenery surrounding it, the flora and the fauna and the clean air it has. If I was to give the stranger a tour of the Campus, I’d show the precinct behind the library/café where one can spot a lot of birds and also see beautiful swans in the pond across the alley which leads to the residence.

If we had any problems/issues they always were happy to help. I liked how informal interaction between teachers and students is, as in my country there is a massive distance between university teachers and students. 55 Graduate Diploma of Technology (Software Engineering) Master of Technology (Enterprise Systems) Campus: Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat) Campus: Gippsland Campus (Churchill), Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat), Online/Off-campus CRICOS Code: 080506M Wentau Zhang Master of Information Technology Country of Origin: China I have recently graduated from the Master of Information Technology at FedUni.
