Student Testimonials

Hear about what some of our graduates have to say about studying at the University of Newcastle, Singapore.

Deepa

Master of Business Administration, 2007

"Getting a MBA from University of Newcastle is a great honor. The entire year was full of experiences which have shaped me into a stronger person to face the challenges of the real world. It was an intense course, but because of continuous support and encouragement from our Dean, Prof Tim Roberts and very knowledgeable faculty I have been able to complete the program successfully.

During this entire year I got wonderful opportunities to travel and network with distinguished personalities from Singapore, China as well from Australia. The best feature about this program is that, I completed an Australian Degree, while I was in Singapore in 11 months. I am grateful to the Dean, friendly professors, family and friends and it is because of their guidance and support I have been able to come so far."

"The experience I gained at the University of Newcastle was enriching. It enabled me to develop talents which I never knew that I possessed. It brought me into contact with lecturers and guides with an astounding amount of knowledge and personal experience. I was suddenly brought down from an ivory tower into something very much like the 'real world.' Finally, these valuable experiences helped me advance along the path to self-realisation."

Kaushik

Master of Business Administration, 2007
Business Analyst, Initial Hygiene Services Singapore

"Studying at the University of Newcastle (UON), through PSB Academy, was a thoroughly enriching experience. The intensive MBA course backed by excellent lecturers made sure that all the aspects of management education were covered. The strong support and mentoring from UON Teaching and Management staff, including the Dean himself, ensured that only the best quality education was imparted. Through this course, I was able to gain the much needed international exposure, which in turn helped in my overall personality development. The knowledge and skills imbibed throughout the year coupled with the international exposure, laid for me the perfect platform for a rewarding career with a prominent multinational corporation. I am currently working as a Business Analyst handling Acquisitions for Initial Hygiene Services, Singapore, a subsidiary of an UK-based LSE listed company, Rentokil Initial."
