Study at UniSA
Master of Project Management student Shan Bala discusses his experience of studying at the University of South Australia.
What others are saying
Lecturers are really knowledgeable in their areas and I benefited from their industry experience and work on real business projects. The examples and case studies used in lectures were from real life experiences and this made classes more enjoyable and industry-relevant.
Berfu Orhan Bekmez
Graduate Certificate in Project Management
The staff teaching have extensive industry knowledge and the online resources provided the flexibility, which I needed to complete my studies. I work full-time and have a young family, so the ability to study after hours was appealing to me. Studying at such a busy stage in my life was not something that I planned, but I really enjoyed it, and it certainly provided me with extra knowledge that I can apply to my career.
