“ 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, ” Alexander Symonds.

“ 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. “Project management is an area of study that is important to me as there is a global need to educate professionals to enhance the outcomes of projects and their productivity.” When thinking about the future, Alison would like to eventually run her own business, continue ” to learn and give back to the community.
