My program is very interesting and I enjoy learning about Exercise Physiology. However, Australia is the worst country to study in because they exploit the international students and they are second class citizens in the eyes of the government. I regret picking Australia.
I have only started full time studies and enrolled in a diploma in sports and fitness to complete all the prerequisite degrees needed to enter UQ’a master of physiotherapy. Studying all the courses online while running a fitness business is challenging. I wish I could just study full time without having to worry about keeping my business running.
Great community, teaching staff and campus facilities.
