UNIVERSITY INFORMATION
Student Life in the Tertiary World
Choosing what to study and where to study is really just the tip of the iceberg. Once you've finally made the big decision and turned up for your first day, student life is everything that follows. Your time as a student is a whole lot more than just showing up to class and displaying a diploma on your wall. Rather, it's about the complete picture and what you get out of your experience, including minor ups and downs and the general challenges that come with taking time out to complete post-compulsory education. https://www.gooduniversitiesguide.com.au/study-information/student-life
How to get Industry Experience While You are Still Studying.
It’s never too early to start thinking about getting your foot in the door. University can be a tad overwhelming for new students but once you’ve become settled, it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for any workplace opportunities. Whether it’s through an internship, volunteering, work experience or a combination of all three, getting ahead is entirely possible while you’re still studying. https://www.gooduniversitiesguide.com.au/education-blogs/career-guidance/how-to-get-industry-experience-while-you%27re-still-studying
