Testimonials

Hear from some of our recent graduates about their employment and how we helped shape their career paths:

"I gained a Graduate role with a multinational accounting firm where I focus on providing business solutions for private businesses and family groups. Having exposure to real-world accounting and business advisory issues at a time early in my professional career is something I am really very grateful for. Whilst I haven’t yet started my role with Deloitte…I look forward to building relationships and making a real impact on our clients."

Adam Clayton

Graduate Accountant, Deloitte

"Being a journalist is really a perfect mix between being a publicist and a researcher. I studied communications and completed a PhD in 2017 at the ��˴�Ƭ. During my study, I was building up a portfolio of skills and contacts. In the modern workplace it’s not only important to show potential employers that you have experience in different fields, but also that you’re capable of forging lasting connections with other professionals."

Amy Maynard

Senior Journalist, Fairfax Media
