Student stories How dreams are realised "Because of the differences in the schooling systems of New Zealand and Bahrain I needed to do a Foundation Studies course to ensure I was prepared to pursue my tertiary education in this country," says Bahraini student Mohamed Alansari. "I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Education, followed by an honours degree in Education (with first-class honours), a Master of Arts in Education (also with first-class honours), and I've now completed a PhD specialisation in the social psychology of education. "I am a research fellow at the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland. As part of my role I give lectures on educational and social psychology, research methods and improving outcomes for university students. "I'm a big dreamer. I see myself in the future taking on a challenging leadership role that allows me to have a greater impact on how we teach students and cater to their needs at all educational levels." Learning the business of marketing Xinpei (Harriet) Zhou came to New Zealand from China when she was 17. "I decided to do the University of Auckland Certificate in Foundation Studies because it provided English study together with subjects I had never learned at school in China, like Accounting and Economics. It made me better prepared for the University of Auckland where I did a Bachelor of Commerce with a double major in Marketing and International Business. "The teachers at ACG Pathways were very friendly and one of them ignited my passion for business studies. The course is good because it gives students the opportunity to try different subjects and adapt to New Zealand culture." Now a successful marketing professional, Harriet runs her own company specialising in helping New Zealand and Australian brands excel in China. In 2016, she received the Valuable Contribution award from the New Zealand Chinese Association for her work promoting Chinese culture in Nelson. 12
