Hear from our students

"My top tips for getting the most out of your online studies would be to budget your time efficiently and interact with your tutors and support staff regularly – they’re always very quick to respond to any questions. It has taken a lot of self-discipline to complete my degree while working full-time, but the results are worth every late night!"

"Online study allowed me to work full-time and commence my career straight away. I chose to study with UniSA because of their strong reputation and the success of their graduates. I have gone on to build and grow my own business and coach others to achieve their own success."

"I chose to study online because of the flexibility and freedom to work at my own pace, as well as the ability control my own schedule and access course material at any time. The teaching staff are very helpful, provide timely responses to queries and clearly communicate all elements of the course."

"Having worked in the sector for some time, I wanted to further develop my knowledge within the IT area, particularly in the networking field. The content you learn is up to date and relevant in a continually changing industry. It will definitely set you up for a career in IT."

"It’s only early days in my professional career, but the skills I’ve developed have given me an edge in my current role. I really enjoyed the exposure to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of data science techniques throughout my degree, from crafting machine learning algorithms by hand, to working with industry on real world problems with advanced technology stacks."

"After gaining some experience within the IT industry I decided that I wanted a career in consulting. The online tools and technology for communicating prepared me for external collaboration, something that I frequently do now in my professional employment."

"I work full-time, and operate a small business. I would have not been able to complete a degree at this stage in my life without the flexibility that online studies provide. The quality of UniSA’s teaching staff is very high. Usually if I have a question in regards to an assignment or course related material I will have an insightful, helpful reply within 24 hours."

"I wanted to prove to myself that I could do university study, and now with all the technology available it’s more accessible than before. I have had the great support of teachers, who email and phone me to discuss my assignments. The library live chat and virtual classrooms are also great. Study has given me a positive edge and outlook on life."

"The online learning platform allows us to engage via reviewing and commenting on each other’s work. It is a nice way of ensuring that you are ‘on the same page’ as your peers, and creates an online environment in which you feel part of a team rather than studying in isolation."

"There are myriad tools and resources available which not only assist in managing your workload, but also assist in communication between you and your tutors. The tutors are always available to answer your questions, through a number of channels like email, message boards and social media."

"As I’m currently working as a secondary teacher I enrolled as an external student. With all the coursework available online, I was able to study at times which suited me and balance my study alongside my work commitments. Having studied at other universities both in Australia and overseas, by comparison UniSA wins hands down!"

"I was inspired to commence my studies at UniSA as I was seeing nurses achieve new heights in their roles. Being able to connect with nurses from other hospitals has been my most enjoyable experience. Meeting through our first virtual classroom, we swapped details, and catch-up regularly for study groups."
