Charlie Stanford, Master of Speech Pathology (United States & Australia)
"I’ve found all the coursework fascinating. It’s been so interesting to break down communication to its smallest theoretical and anatomical/physiological parts and then see how it all works together. It’s also interesting to see what happens when something goes awry with communication due to a brain injury or developmental disorder."

Dominique Lung, Doctor of Dental Surgery (Canada)
"I have wanted to be a dentist since I was about 9 years old, and I am really happy to have had the opportunity to fulfil a childhood dream. I think that it is amazing that by just completing the Doctor of Dental Surgery I am prepared to work in the field of dentistry straight away."

"Based in a hospital at the heart of Melbourne, you get clinical exposure to a diverse patient population from an early point in the degree. Treating patients from children to elderly with varying medical backgrounds helps develop and refine knowledge taught in lectures and clinical skills learnt in laboratories."

Now, as a junior doctor, I am putting the medical knowledge gained at university into real clinical practice in the well-supported environment of an internship."
