“The TESOL specialisation at the University of South Australia is one of the best programs of its kind in an English speaking country. “I had a great experience learning in a cooperative classroom atmosphere, meeting smart and friendly people, studying in sophisticated facilities, and being mentored by very experienced teaching staff with the latest teaching methods. I also had the Student Association support my academic and social life in Adelaide.
EDUCATION
Nurul travelled from Indonesia to pursue her postgraduate studies to teach English as a second language.

Professor John Fielke has been a member of the research staff at the University for more than 30 years firstly at the SA Institute of Technology and now the School of Engineering. His research has helped revolutionise dried fruit and almond production in Australia, focusing on significant improvements to agricultural processing machinery, which had not been modified since the 1920s. “Listening to what customers want and being able to interpret that to what you can achieve and what’s practical, taking a risk and not being scared about trying something new, and having the confidence to find a solution for a market need – this is what builds relevancy. “It’s also about reading the trends and demands ahead of time.” Professor Fielke is a mentor to engineering students and even led the team responsible for breaking the Guinness Book World Record for the world’s longest bike measuring 42 metres long and seating 20 riders.
