Kaoru Curmi
Graduate Certificate in Corporate Responsiblity
La Trobe was the only university who offered a postgraduate course focused on corporate responsibility – the area of my interest. The course is well structured and suitable for people who work full-time. Theoretical and practical discussions are well balanced.
Adnan Hafeez
Master of Business Administration
The MBA program helped me identify all the transferable skills that I have to offer. I realised that a lot of the work that I was already doing was actually a part of many other disciplines. Now I can market myself through a range of areas that I never thought possible, which is definitely the most valued part of my coursework.
Frank Lattuch
Master of Business Administration
The Graduate School of Management enabled me to tailor the program to my personal needs. My business acumen was improved through excellent support and encouragement, including exposure to realistic business situations, which in turn built my confidence as a successful business person. The professional knowledge is transferable, enabling me to take my learning from Australia back to my home-country, Germany. Most importantly I felt welcomed and valued as a student and a future colleague by all members of the staff and student body.
Martina Sieger
Master of Business Administration
The La Trobe MBA program with its wide range of subjects and the opportunity to tailor the course to my personal needs and preferences has been a very positive experience. Class discussions and group work gave me many opportunities to interact with other students, both from Australia and from all around the world. Studying with Australian students, many of whom are already managers with very responsible positions, assisted me in understanding how theories work in practice. I was very impressed with the way the Graduate School of Management kept the content of the course current, ensuring that what was being taught still applied in business and industry.
Tran Anh Tuan
Doctor of Philosophy (International)
I chose La Trobe as it is a big university with a very large and beautiful campus. Studying in Australia provides an excellent environment for study. Staff at La Trobe University help me with anything. My confidence has increased since becoming a student here. The thing I like most about Melbourne is that the study environment is magnificent.
Linda Vergouwen
Master of International Business
The Master of International Business units were intellectually challenging and provided me with the knowledge and skills to fulfil a managerial position within a multinational firm. The most valuable experience was working together with other international students. Over 15 nationalities were represented in our class and this enhanced the international character of the course. I am sure that my Master of International Business degree will continue to provide career benefits for me into the future.
