This Postgraduate Degree programme has helped me in my career, as the knowledge gained and the MBA Degree qualification have certainly strengthened my academic profile and made me a more qualified candidate for senior-level management positions.

I get to apply the knowledge and skill sets from my programme to what I do now. For instance, the Accounting and Finance modules have strengthened my knowledge, as a senior management staff with Profit and Loss responsibility. The Business, Society and the Environment module is relevant to sustainability, one of the hottest topics in the world today, while the module on Leading the Engaged Enterprise has brought a new dimension to the right approaches that modern leaders should adopt.

Networking is one of the best parts about taking up the MBA programme. The opportunity to get to know, communicate and work with people from different age groups, countries and cultures was always very exciting and interesting to me.
I had the chance to experience hybrid learning due to the pandemic, one of the aspects of the programme I liked most. While physical interactions are always fun and enjoyable, home-based learning has trained me to adapt faster to the reality of the business world today.

Anyone with a considerable amount of work experience who wants to stay relevant with new skills and knowledge, and who has a strong passion to meet and work with different people of all levels should take up this Postgraduate Degree programme.

I chose the Bachelor of Communication in Communication and Media Studies and Public Relations due to my interest in learning about media and how it works. Studying the topics in-depth has allowed me to understand how the media landscape functions. My first choice was Murdoch University as it is one of the top 100 young universities in the world.

My job entails writing news scripts for presenters to read on air. Two modules which have helped me in my job are Media Governance and the Public Sphere, and Audiences, Users and Participants. The programme has helped me to identify sources when I am writing my assignments, and to gauge if the website that I am researching on is credible – so that I know what to include in the script.

The lecturers at Murdoch University are capable and very passionate about their jobs. They go all out as teachers, and are compassionate, kind and trustworthy. I must commend my PR lecturer for how well she taught the PR modules and for making her students feel confident in their abilities. I would recommend the University as it is reputable, and the modules will aid the students in their professional lives.

It was a natural choice for me to choose Murdoch University as it is recognised as one of the top universities in the world. I was drawn to the option of being able to broaden my career options by completing two majors in one degree, with my preferred choice in Journalism and Public Relations.

I like that the lecturers are highly qualified industry professionals who show a deep passion for what they are teaching, and I appreciate their caring disposition and teaching style as it helps students better understand complex topics and nuances.

In addition, thanks to Murdoch University’s unparalleled industry links, students who are enrolled in the Public Relations Major like myself will automatically receive student membership in the Murdoch University Singapore-IPRS Student Chapter, where we get to tap into the knowledge and experience of industry professionals. I have found this initiative very useful as I was able to discover more about my field of interest and acquire knowledge outside the traditional realm of the classroom through the student-centric activities spearheaded by the Student Chapter.

Murdoch University offers the opportunity to learn beyond your chosen specialisation via breadth units designed to introduce new knowledge and develop a rounded perspective that will help in preparing students for the multidisciplinary world. I was able to gain a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on various topics by working with students from other specialisations to explore problems and create solutions that are relevant and applicable in the real world.

Being a go-getter in life, I was determined to stay relevant and improve my skills and career prospects by pursuing my passion in Human Resource Management and Criminology. However, these ambitions would often be postponed to focus on other life commitments, and there was no institution that provided my preferred Degree.

Fortunately, I discovered the variety of programmes offered by Murdoch University, which included the Human Resource Management and Criminology Double Major Degree programme. It was the perfect opportunity to study what I was interested in and distinguish myself competitively with double specialisms.

With the flexible study plan from Murdoch University, I could work full-time and develop my career simultaneously. The experienced lecturers took a pragmatic approach to teaching with real-life examples, which enriched my understanding of the subjects and streamlined my learning.

Considering these advantages, I highly recommend Murdoch University as a renowned institution that provides quality education, offering useful skills that can lead to lucrative employment opportunities.

I had moved to a new role that provided me with a wider scope of work, exposure and visibility that included global and regional responsibilities, compared to my previous role with responsibilities confined to Singapore.

The programme taught me to think critically, and challenge existing ideas and implement new ones to do my job better. The programme helped me to understand the job function and make new suggestions to improve operations.

As for which aspects of the programme I liked the most, that would be the lecturers, classmates and subjects. The modules were brought to life by having good lecturers.

I had learned to juggle work and studies since pursuing the Murdoch Bachelor of Business Degree programme. The flexibility of the timetable helped me to manage schoolwork, assignments and complete tutorials. Thanks to the great experience in the Bachelor’s Degree programme, I continued on to pursue the MBA with Kaplan as well, knowing very well that the timetable and time management were within my control.

The demands of the MBA programme were tougher, but I managed to do well, with good teammates and lecturers who sincerely cared about education, learning and development.

Endeavouring to improve my education and hone my competitive edge, I sought a Double Major to broaden my career options within various industries and expand my horizons. I chose Murdoch University, a renowned institution that offered a Communication and Media Studies and Public Relations Double Major Degree programme.

The programme was taught by quality lecturers who were supportive and adept in their knowledge. They imparted skills directly applicable to my career in the PR industry and encouraged us every step of the way.

Of the various modules taught, I found the Campaign Management module to be most effective in my role as a Public Relations & Marketing Executive. It provides professional PR skills through practical experience, requiring us to work in teams to craft our own PR strategy and communication plans.

Thanks to the recognition of Murdoch University and my Double Major qualification, I have personally noticed that, since graduating, I was offered more employment opportunities than before and had no difficulty securing jobs. As such, I definitely recommend Murdoch University.

I decided to further my education with Murdoch University as the University offers a competitive Degree recognised by relevant local and Australian authorities, and because the Degree programme can be completed in my desired time frame. The flexibility of the Degree programme made it more convenient as well.

By studying two disciplines in my Double Major programme, I am making full use of the learning path. You will not only get fresh insights into the disciplines, but also become more marketable to future employers. Having a variety of skill sets under your belt increases the possibilities of finding one’s desired employment, proving to potential employers that you are eager to learn. The Degree would help to pave the way for promotion at work as well.

With the academic support I received throughout each semester, I was able to arrange my classes such that they do not conflict with one another. The convenience of having online classes together with assistance from the lecturers, who are positive and nurturing, help to make the learning journey easier and a joy.

I would recommend Murdoch University as their Degrees are recognised. Additionally, lecturers are friendly, student support is always available, and most importantly, the flexible class schedules are communicated ahead, so that you can organise your time accordingly.
