Meet our Vice-Chancellor Scholarship Recipients.

I’m passionate about writing – I dreamed of being a writer when I was younger. I now aspire to become a teacher as my future career. Knowledge and truth drive me – I’m constantly striving to achieve of a grasp of the truth through rational thinking for my ability to better understand the world. 

In the short term, I aim to find a job in an international kindergarten or primary school in China, with the aim to obtain a position as a class head teacher. Eventually, with more teaching experience, my long-term ambition is to establish a private kindergarten with my family. With the population density in China, I believe this will be a booming business in the coming years. Therefore, studying in Australia can be a great help to my career development. 

Why study in Australia? 

I chose to study in Australia because the quality of research and education is high. Australia also offers students and teachers from various international backgrounds – which will provide me with great opportunities to communicate with different cultures and alternative ways of thinking. 

Additionally, in China, teachers with fluent English and overseas studying experience are in great demand. In the major cities of China nowadays, many kindergartens and primary schools are recruiting bilingual teachers – with high salaries on offer. As Australia is one of the major English-speaking countries, I can also improve my English level by studying in Australia and then greatly increase my competitiveness after graduation.

I chose to study in Adelaide as it’s a comfortable, peaceful and safe place for me to study. It’s beautiful, the local people are friendly and the social security is reassuring – and the living costs are not as expensive as Melbourne and Sydney. I think Adelaide offers a better environment to gain internship opportunities – students can gain a lot of practical experience with supervised field placements. 

What will I do when I arrive in Adelaide? 

I’m looking forward to completing my professional placement when I arrive in Adelaide – and I’m really excited to see all the animals and natural beauty. I love animals of all kinds, and I’m extremely interested in the koalas and platypus! 

I’m looking forward to sharing my Chinese food culture with other students in Australia. There are various specialty cuisines in different provinces, and people in China will prepare different traditional delicious delicacies in specific festivals as well. 

What is your advice for students studying online, offshore? 

I suggest that students studying online and offshore can establish the close connection with classmates and teachers through e-mails and also several communication apps to keep in touch with them timely and keep pace with the courses.

It is also a good idea to set up an online study group spontaneously to help each other and also develop the positive learning atmosphere.
