After working in the Information Technology industry for nearly two decades, it was a ‘sea change’ decision for me to pursue a formal degree in the Social Sciences. Deakin University provided me with an ideal learning environment in all respects: I had excellent and knowledgeable lecturers, received guidance and support during my studies, exploring different ideas was encouraged and discussion thrived in the classroom.
The opportunity to participate in an international conference as a Masters student is very rare and definitely a career high point for me as a researcher. I gained a great deal of confidence and motivation from the tremendous support I had received from my lecturers and from the experience of presenting to an international audience
