Our lecturers are accessible. You can find them, call them, talk to them. At the University of Tasmania you can phone, email or drop in to see your lecturers outside of class time to talk through your studies, not just when a class is running. Troubled about committing to years of study? One of the biggest concerns of postgraduate students is what if something happens and they can’t afford the time commitment to complete their degree? The reality is life will happen and work, children, elderly parents, illness, and a range of other factors will dictate what you are and are not able to do in the given timeframe of a degree. The University of Tasmania will allow you to defer your study* or even exit your study until you are ready to continue. For example, if you are studying for an MBA which has 12 units of study and student Profile you have only completed four units, we will allow you to exit with a Graduate Certificate in Management and come back Dr Nuttaneeya (Ann) Torugsa to study when you are ready to finish the program.^^ Specialisation: Master of International Business
Ann chose the Master of International Business (MIB) because of the Faculty’s reputation for the quality of the course and teaching staff, modern facilities, competitive fees, diversity, and a friendly and safe environment. “I believed that by completing an MIB at UTAS, I would be well positioned to achieve my future career goals.” Ann enjoyed the guidance from lecturers and hands-on practical approach to learning making for a very positive study experience. Her favourite subject was Strategic Management, which helped her be more analytic and rationally critical. “I felt my training as a junior researcher was influenced in such a positive way by lecturers’ academic skills and ways of approaching problems. Indeed, this has assisted me in gaining the Faculty of Business/ UTAS Graduate Research Scholarship for my PhD study and subsequently getting a full- time job as a research fellow at the Australian Innovation Research Centre,” said Ann. “All the lecturers were always available and supportive. They generously gave of their time to answer my endless questions Tasmania is my second home. I have very much enjoyed my time here, not only studying but also working and living.”
