Shirshak Nepal - Master of Engineering (Telecommunications)

Studying at MIT has been invaluable in kick-starting my career in the Telecommunication industry. Through the compulsory internship program, I landed a part-time job in the networking field even though I was still halfway through my degree.

After graduating, I was employed with a company named XLATE for three years followed by my recent move to Telstra where I look after Managed Services and Projects for our CISCO clients. What stands out for me is that most of the subjects I studied in my postgraduate degree have been essential in all the three roles I’ve undertaken. It’s fair to say the degree has provided me with the practical knowledge and vital skills I’ve needed on the job.

As a student at MIT, I also learnt to cultivate a positive can-do attitude and got to study with like-minded peers who motivated me to push my limits. That has certainly paid off for me as I continue to test my limits in my new role – juggling different projects, learning new technologies and enhancing my knowledge for bigger and better things.

Pick a Place You Want To Spend the Next Three Years

Above all else, a degree course will teach you how to think. Whatever degree course you take, it will teach you how to compare options and make the best possible choice.

If all Australian degrees are created equal, how can you choose where to go to get a degree?

This is the very real question facing many Australian students. The answer is not easy. Because all Australian degrees are, by and large, created equal. The government requires all tertiary institutions to teach to a set level. A high level, when compared to the rest of the world.

A degree is a big commitment. Six semesters, over two to three years at least.

Perhaps the question should be, “Where do you want to spend that time?”

Some students love big crowds, being part of the hustle and bustle of a large campus, happy to go it alone in a sea of competition.

For a number of students, large institutions do not work. So there is an option.

Smaller, private institutions, like the Melbourne Institute of Technology, provide a real alternative for students who fear they may struggle to live up to their own expectations at a larger campus where they can often feel isolated.

Smaller institutions provide a number of very real benefits for these students. More attention from staff can provide a big confidence boost for less confident students. Read More…
