What others say about UniSA Online
I was so nervous about going back to uni because it had been so long. I was worried I’d be out of touch with my academic skills and questioned whether I’d missed the boat. But my experience has been great so far and the support has been extremely encouraging.
After my degree, my sights are set on opening my own family business, promoting regional tourism, good food and wine. This degree has already given me ideas on how we can connect with the community and make the business a success.
I’ve been a police officer for 14 years. Now that my kids are growing up I wanted to do something for myself. I chose HR because of the diversity that the degree offers and the career opportunities that are available. The ability to study 100% online was a game changer for me. I have a rotating roster and am often required to work night shifts. I also have three young kids so it’s really important I’m still able to devote time to them.
As a Case Management Coordinator, I am tasked with informing prisoners of their rehabilitation program requirements as a part of their individualised plan. I field questions from prisoners on a daily basis regarding SA Police, prosecutions, court, sentencing, programs, home detention and parole among other things. A holistic understanding of the criminal justice system is very important in order to give prisoners accurate information as they inevitably interact with each agency within the system.
I chose to study Communication because I have a passion for writing and social sciences - and I wanted to learn the tools and strategies to communicate professionally and creatively. Everything in this degree is geared to the real-world. The knowledge and skills I’ve gained have helped me immensely in my current role at the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Recently, I was required to develop a marketing and communications brief for Qantas, and I was able to use the templates we were studying to help guide me.
