Why did you choose to study the Master of Communications at Monash?
Monash is one of the top ranking universities in the world and a member of the group of eight in Australia. It is even the second best university in Australia. This was my prime reason for choosing Monash University for my postgraduate degree. Besides, Monash has such a high percentage of international students. Studying here will give me international exposure and a chance to meet new people and learn about other cultures.

I like the method of teaching in this course. The classes are very interactive and that gives me a chance to put my viewpoint on the table. This also allows me to gain new insights into concepts that are taught in the course. The professors are very helpful and generous with their time, so being an international student I find it easy to adjust to the new study pattern.
*What are you future plans and how do you think the degree might assist you in achieving your goals? *
I want to enter the media industry. As we all know, communications is a big part of any industry. The concepts that I am learning here are sure to help me in my future prospects.
