Proud to be a
Melbourne graduate
The international reputation of
the university was something
that appealed to me, and the
program fexibility (streams) and
subject offerings in the Master
of Environment course were
perfect for allowing me to hone
my relatively broad interests.
I‘m proud to tell people I
graduated from the University
of Melbourne, and will always
look back fondly on my two
years there.
