“  An interest in maps as a
   young child led Mathew to
   study geospatial science with
   a clear career goal in mind.

   “When I finish my studies I
   plan to become a licensed
   surveyor. This work appeals
   to me because of the mix of
   indoor and outdoor work and
   the varied day-to-day tasks,
   which this field offers.

   “The strong link between
   UniSA and industry bodies
   has opened up opportunities
   for guest lectures and
   networking sessions where
   I have met industry people
   and even gained casual
   employment.”

   Mathew is now working
   as a field assistant with
   surveying consultancy,

                       ”

“ After a positive experience
  completing her undergraduate
  degree with UniSA, Alison
  decided to continue her studies.

  “The UniSA community
  brings together like-minded
  individuals that are passionate
  about lifelong learning. I really
  enjoyed how the University
  supports critical thinking and
  innovation.

  “The teaching staff are
  leaders with extensive
  industry knowledge. They’re
  approachable and have
  supported my growth both
  professionally and personally.
