Mia travelled from Germany to UTS to study Australia’s health care sector. During her semester at UTS, she expanded her project management experience by consulting for a real not-for-profit. Watch to find out why she ‘arrived with an empty box that’s now overflowing’.

Discover a new perspective on the other side of the world – Mia Chiara Ellenberger's study abroad experience

[Mia appears on screen with a lower third outlining her degree and home university: Bachelor of Applied Science (Business Psychology) at Hochschule Fresenius. She speaks to the producer of the video off camera.]

Mia: The first thing I wanted to do is to foster my abilities to work internationally. Against my expectations, I didn't learn so much theory, but more for life.

[UTS classrooms, students working together and the UTS campus on a fine day.]

Hi, my name is Mia and I'm from Germany, Hamburg. I always dreamed about doing a semester abroad.

[A world map, a plane and Sydney landmarks.]

What really interested me is that Australia is a few steps further in relating to mental health topics. And also, the healthcare system is one of the global leading systems. I worked in the healthcare the past years as a project manager and I was really interested to figure it out.

[Intertitle: What part of studying at UTS stood out for you?]

Management consulting is the most interesting course for me because it's linked to working as a project manager. You're consulting a real client project, you foster very valuable connections with them, and train to communicate the right way with a real client.

And it's a charity organisation, so it's even more fascinating to figure out not just to maximise profit like from the business view you have in your business studies, but also to think a little bit further how you can provide the right support for a charity organisation.

[Intertitle: what was it like settling into a new life in Sydney?]

Mia: in the beginning, this big change did take a lot of me. But I felt really safe coming here to UTS. You're closer connected with the teachers because you could always talk to them if you're struggling with assignments, you can always get understanding and figure out a solution together, and that's what I really appreciate because for me it's been a very hard semester, but a very enriching semester as well.

[Intertitle: what advice do you have for students considering an exchange at UTS?]

If you have the capacity to join the programs besides your courses, do it. I volunteered at the film of my client's project, actually from the management and consulting course. It was a chance to finally volunteer and do something with a big purpose. It was such a nice experience.

[Montage of videos from social media of behind-the-scenes footage from Mia's clients film shoot.]

[Lower third: Mia volunteered at Mountain of Youth, an organisation empowering young people in the Blue Mountains area to tell their stories through immersive filmmaking.]

Volunteering gave me a completely new point of view on working and the feeling of working, not to have overworked you, but also participating for a bigger purpose.

[Lower third: after volunteering for 90+ hours for Mountain of Youth, Mia received the UTS SOUL Award in recognition of her dedication to the community.]

It feels like I came here with like an empty box or something and now it's just overflowing, you know.
