The reputation of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science at the University of South Australia was one of the main reasons Andre chose to study at UniSA.
“I learnt a lot about Marketing due to good lecturers, and there were completely different teaching methods than I am used to from back home.” He enjoyed sharing a class with students from all around the world. Andre plans to complete his marketing thesis for Adidas when he returns home after his Study Abroad semester at UniSA. He hopes to work for Adidas as a Sports Product Manager.
Andre enjoyed learning about Australian culture by living with local and international students in a seven bedroom house. His advice to prospective students was “Come to Adelaide – it is a perfect city to study, lots of fun and a wonderful city… what more do you need?”
Andre thought UniSA was a great university. “I like the way it is so different to my home uni. Especially the clubs, like the Exchange Society, made my life as a UniSA student so much easier. In general I just enjoyed that everyone was so friendly and willing to help with any kind of problems. It was a great experience to study at UniSA.”
Andre said Adelaide was hassle free, and the affordable cost of living meant he was able to enjoy lots of activities outside of class. “There were a lot of things to do in Adelaide: I went to Adelaide United Soccer and Port Adelaide Football matches, went to the Zoo, Cleland Wildlife Park, shopping, clubbing on Hindley Street – it was never boring.”
“The most positive difference between home and Adelaide or
Australia in general was the people: everyone was so friendly
and helpful. I will seriously miss that at home! Thank you
Australia.”
