Master of Engineering Management student and recipient of a postgraduate scholarship

"I felt a bit apprehensive about settling in when I first arrived but, because UTS has this great thing called 'Peer Networkers' - other students who volunteer to help newcomers like me, I did my settling in much faster. My Peer Networker, an undergraduate Engineering student by name of Rohit, took me, amongst other things, even to the bank to open a bank account!

"Spending time with the Peer Networkers and completing the UTS Orientation program, I felt like I'd been here forever. I've already signed up to do the training to become a Peer Networker myself!"
