Review

Studyng at UWA was by far the best experience of my life because it made me grow in every way, in academic, professional and personal life.
Regarding my academic life, I did the Bridging Course before starting uni, focused on learning standards and academic tools that are widely applied to a university's daily life. Even though I was an undergrad study abroad student, I had the chance to do units of the Mining Engineering Master Program. In addition, I attended classes with highly well-known professors, a technical visit to an underground mine where access is only by plane, the learning process was deeply associated with practical and challenging situations. Other advantages of studying at UWA are availability of useful software licenses and assurance of great on campus facilities, such as labs, libraries, gym, bookstore, medical centre, for example.
Within the professional context, there is an appropriate department that discloses internship and job opportunities. I could also be part of student clubs that promote events and meetings with professionals from a variety of industrial segments, giving you the opportunity for network. Because I was part of Enginering clubs such as AusIMM and UWAYE, I attended professional events, Students Meet Industry Night and Women in Engineering High Tea, for instance.
Personal gain was also extremely relevant because UWA is a multicultural university, so I was able to get along with people from all over the world and to learn about different cultures. I could improve my communication and group work skills, for example. Now I also have really nice friends from different countries. Another very strong point of UWA is its location in Perth, an amazing city to live, high quality of life, close to the beach, surrounded by the Swan River. And there are also numerous stunning touristic places to be visited in the WA state, such as Rottnest Island, Margaret River, Esperance and Karijini National Park.
Studying at UWA was a significant milestone in my life and this experience has helped me to aim higher and set my goals wisely. I’m really grateful to all the people I’ve met and knowledge acquired at UWA. Now I always remember our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue impossible!
