Graduate profile

Lorreta O'Neill

Structural Engineer

“I chose to study engineering at Bendigo because of the subject variety with a focus on Mathematics and Science, the course structure with the inclusion of a industry based learning requirement and the possibility of receiving scholarships (especially relevant for rural students). The graduate employment rates are fantastic.
