“I wanted the opportunity to study abroad and UQ has a really good reputation. I liked how the classes are smaller, have a lower student to professor ratio and the courses all have a practical component. In the upper limb course, they brought in hand specialists and they taught us how to make splints, which was pretty cool. I’ve always been interested in a career in health care and I liked how physiotherapy is very hands on. I really enjoy anatomy and biomechanics and being able to interact with others so it seemed like a good fit.”
