Abhishek NEGI - Master of Professional Accounting

Despite not being from an accounting background, I’ve managed to excel in my course due to the support I’ve received from my professors early on in my degree in the Master of Professional Accounting. The majority of the teaching staff at MIT have a PhD which means students get specialist knowledge. Moreover, the course is carefully designed with a range of assessment tools that ensure students have an in-depth understanding of the concepts and are able to apply the theoretical knowledge properly to real life situations. 

My goal is to become a management accountant. Through the in-depth knowledge I’ve gained from this degree, I’m more confident than ever to pursue this path that combines my management experience with my newly polished skills learnt at MIT.

Shamika Wijesinghalage - Master of Engineering (Telecommunications)

Choosing MIT has been the best decision I’ve made for my further studies in the telecommunication field. I originally chose MIT because the engineering degree is accredited by Engineers Australia and because of MIT’s great location in the heart of the city. After studying here, I’ve found that MIT also takes a holistic approach to education and provides the utmost care and assistance to students. 

I’ve received one-on-one help when I’ve struggled with assignments and lab work, and lecturers have also stayed back after class to help me figure out any concepts I had trouble with. The degree is very practical - I’ve been involved in project work that requires us to find engineering solutions in existing systems, and solve real-time problems – all skills that will be useful on the job. Studying Master of Engineering at MIT has definitely increased my confidence to pursue my passion in the telecommunication industry. Read More…

What are the symptoms of the Novel corona virus?

The Novel Corona Virus is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus. Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly. There is no known cure. There is evidence that it spreads from person to person, so good hygiene can prevent infection.

Symptoms can include (but are not limited to) fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, and/or shortness of breath.

MIT provides free confidential counselling support for any MIT student. If you need support at any time, please call 03 8600 6700 or Read More…

MIT Engineering Student receives ITNAC Grant for Industry Project

Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) student, Ms Archana Banepali submitted a full research paper on the findings from her Industry Project to the 29th International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC). The paper titled "Design and Implementation of Wi-Fi Based Attendance System Using Raspberry Pi’’ has been accepted for publication, and additionally, Archana received a travel grant to present her work at the 2019 ITNAC conference in New Zealand, providing Archana with the opportunity to present her work to an international audience.

 

The Industry Project completed as part of her Master of Engineering course was supervised by Dr Rajan Kadel in coordination with Dr Deepani B. Guruge and Sharly J. Halder. In an interview about the project, Archana gave credit to the MIT project supervisors and other academics that supported her in this journey.

Archana said she used to be meek and shy and that this opportunity and the support she received from MIT has transformed her confidence. MIT congratulates Archana on this exceptional achievement and looks forward to the publication of the final paper in 2020.
