We also learned about cultural Japanese traditions and experiences such as tea ceremonies and they took us through to…

    My name is Connee and I study a Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment at UTS.

  • To one of the best experiences of my life in Barcelona

    My time in Barcelona was a journey of growth, challenge, and discovery.

One of the biggest challenges was learning to live on my own.…

  • International Genetic Counselling Placement

    It is not often one gets to say that as part of their clinical experience for their master’s degree they get to go overseas. I was fortunate to be accepted and organise my final placement of my master’s degree to Guy’s Hospital in central London. It required lots of emails and logistics, but the process…
