"Adelaide
is a second home" according to Philaiphone Vongpraseuth, an AusAID student from
Laos who is currently undertaking her MBA with UniSA. Philly returned to
Adelaide, having graduated from a Bachelor of Engineering degree with high
honours in 2002. Philly had great memories from the time she spent in Adelaide
and did not hesitate to return when she was awarded her AusAID scholarship in
2008.
"I have travelled around Australia and around the world. Nowhere else is like
Adelaide. The most amazing thing about Adelaide is that people are so friendly
and polite. I actually learned good manners from here. Adelaide is best to live
and study as it is the most affordable and easy going city."
Philly says that the best thing about being a UniSA student is the networking
and knowledge building opportunities she has available to her through her MBA
program. She also says the facilities and support by academic staff have aided
her success. "The style of learning is good for students as it trains them for
lifelong learning rather than relying on teachers".
Philly speaks highly of the MBA program and her Bachelor studies in Engineering:
"The MBA program at UniSA received 5 star rating in Good Universities Guide.
UniSA is the leading University in terms of research and developing programs in
Telecommunications and Chemical Engineering."
Philly intends to return to Laos to start an international development agency to
further the country’s development. She will use the knowledge and experience she
has gained at UniSA to teach local people how to adopt a greater cultural
understanding and utilise this understanding for their personal and
organisational development.
