Who we are

The University does an excellent job at giving a balance between the theory and the practice, so you come out understanding the details of how things work and also how to do things in the lab.

I was exposed to a large variety of study areas within my degree, preparing me for a career in a variety of different industries. Being able to modify my degree to complete a yearlong industry placement has assisted me in obtaining a graduate position in my chosen field.

Extracurricular activities at Flinders have helped me gain confidence and feel more prepared for my future and career. I have enjoyed the field trips for my course and have been able to volunteer for two of the Marine Biology and Aquaculture programs.

My honours project utilised the skills acquired throughout my degree and in collaboration with a team, I was able to build an autonomous robot as an entrant to the National Instruments Autonomous Robotics Competition in Sydney, where I was able to see the robot compete against Universities across Australia. This was a very rewarding experience and was a great opportunity to network with other people in the industry.
