After spending some time in the workforce, Kayla realised that she would need to have formal qualifications behind her in order to advance her career. With a passion for social media marketing, she set her sights on the Bachelor of Business at the University of Newcastle, majoring in marketing.

“ So far, my experience has been both rewarding and challenging. I’ve had the opportunity to explore a variety of subjects, from management to marketing and even electives outside of my degree.

I’ve met some amazing people and with the guidance of the lecturers and my peers, they’ve helped me grow as an individual in ways I never thought possible.

There are challenges that come with university life, but my support network help to keep me on track so that I can strive for excellence in all aspects of my studies. All in all, it has been a great experience.”

“The content I have learned throughout my degree has expanded my knowledge and understanding of many concepts in the world of business – which I believe will be valuable as I pursue my career. Studying at university has also provided me with the amazing opportunity to connect with likeminded individuals, which has helped to build valuable networks for me to carry into the future.”
