                                            Current student

                                            I wanted to study international business to understand more
                                            about how foreign companies operate in the world. I’m developing
                                            the skills and knowledge that companies need in opening their
                                            activities to the wider world. At first, I found it challenging to adjust
                                            to the study and research demands. But I’ve been able to do so
                                            with the help of RMIT’s academic support services, my classmates
                                            and the dedicated lecturers. I’m planning to go on exchange to
                                            RMIT in Melbourne.

                                            I’ve always been impressed by how technologies and the digital
                                            economy are shaping our lives. I hope to maximise the use of
                                            technology in my business models to improve the working process
                                            and efficiencies. So far we’ve learnt about new technologies and
                                            their prospects. Through the assignments, I’m discovering a lot
                                            of surprising knowledge. The encouragement from my lecturers
                                            provides a superb foundation to bring my ideas to reality.

                                            It was during my first part-time job at a small accommodation
                                            provider that I realised I had a huge interest in meeting new people
                                            and learning new things. So I decided that pursuing a career in the
                                            tourism and hospitality industry would be the most suitable path
                                            for me. At RMIT, the thing that I’ve enjoyed most so far has been
                                            the new friendships that I have made with my classmates and
                                            lecturers. They are people who share my passion.
