Student Testimonial

Jimena Sanchez – Master of Counselling

I chose the University of Queensland for more than a century of experience in education and because it is in beautiful Queensland and the magnetic city of Brisbane.  What stood out to me was that the University of Queensland is ranked among the top 40 universities in the world.  I would totally recommend my program; the main reason is that the program is a fusion of theory and practice and gives you the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and put it into practice thus gaining experience. My favorite learning activity was placement, as placement lasts a year in my degree the learning.  experience is enriching. I most enjoyed meeting wonderful, generous, and inclusive teachers and classmates and as the cultural diversity at the University is vast, I was able to meet so many people from around the world. I would encourage students to utilize the extensive support, program, and activities that the University of Queensland offers students as a part of education.
