I have developed leadership, communication, and teamwork skills through my program. The experience of working with real companies during internships through UQ has given me the edge to be prepared for the real work environment after graduation.
I got to meet and work with brilliant startup founders in Singapore who are contributing to solving problems around the world. Connecting with, and learning from, these brilliant minds has been an amazing opportunity.
I was an intern at the Max Planck Institute in Germany and... because I understood the language, I had a seat at the table. That’s truly one of the most powerful aspects of learning another language – it opens so many doors.
