Hi. I'm Preeti from India and I'm doing my Masters of Social Work from Federation University Australia.
I chose
to study at Federation University
because it has lots to offer to its
international students. Great teaching,
great student support and great
industry placements. I love living in
regional Australia because of the peace
and beauty of the countryside. The people
are so loving, friendly and very
welcoming and everything is easily
available in the local area. The public
transport is great. I live in a small
town outside of Ballarat and it is very
easy for me to get to the campus and
even to Melbourne. The Master of Social Work has a unique structure. I need to be on
campus only once a fortnight which gives
me ample opportunity to maintain a
balance between my work as well as my
independent studies. The student and
staff community at Federation University
is diverse. We do a lot of group work
which has been a great way to build my
communication skills among local and
international students. The teachers have
a deep understanding of the subject and
give the students excellent advice
and support to help us achieve our best.
I have done two placements in
Social Work, one in community development
and the other in a mental health setting. It's
been a great learning experience as I've
been able to put my theory into practice
and develop my social and communication
skills.
Another great thing is that at
Federation University I can do my
placements part-time which gives me the
chance to maintain a balance between my
work and study life. I'm really enjoying my degree
and I'm very confident that it will enable
me to get a great start in the field of
social work. Come and join me at
Federation University.
