“I have achieved many successes at MIT. I also built up

my confidence as a non-English Speaker in an English

environment. MIT provides me a step-by-step pathway for

my study planning. My English level was not satisfactory

for me to attain other academic courses. However the

ESOL course gives me a lot of knowledge not only for daily

life, but also in academic study needs. After ESOL study,

I have also successfully completed my Foundation study

before I went to Diploma in Business Studies. The courses

offered by MIT are very useful for daily life, either in EOSL

or Business Studies. It initiates me to be more creative

which is necessary for my success in my future career.”

because I loved the small class sizes. The lecturers are so

friendly and approachable; they treat you like a person not

just a number. In fact, one of the lecturers helped me find

the job I am in now.

The course content is so relevant to industry and what

I do now. It teaches you real stuff which is immediately

“Right now I am studying for my Post Graduate Diploma in

Fine Arts at Elam. I wouldn’t have been able to access this

programme if I hadn’t completed my Bachelor of Visual

Arts at MSVA. What I found most successful was the little

skills you find along the way; different ways of thinking

about how to approach the subject matter in a challenging

way. It really got me focused on the art I was creating.

Studying at MSVA has allowed me to go onto further

studies and helped me gain a place in the most prestigious

for me to make a living from my art, whether by creating

or teaching, which I have a passion for.”

“I graduated last year with a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. The diploma course was very good, the lecturers were all supportive and encouraged me right through the course. I am very practical minded and I was pleased to find that the course definitely gave me the practical knowledge I needed. When I first came here in 2007 the industry was booming and there were a lot of jobs available. Now, as I have graduated the recession has taken hold and it’s much harder to get a job. I think I would have found it much harder to get employment had it not been for my diploma. It really stood me in good stead at my job interviews. I have now got a good job in the industry and really feel my study at MIT helped this.“

“Having already completed a certificate and diploma in electrical engineering, I decided I wanted to further my study in this area and began looking for a tertiary institute where I could do a degree in engineering. I looked at a variety of universities and polytechs around the country and decided on MIT’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. I felt the focus and environment of MIT would suit me best as I am a hands-on, practical person. I think one of MIT’s real strengths is the direct contact you have with your lecturers. They challenged us and made us think for ourselves which is essential for an engineer’s development. I now work full time at an electronics engineering firm in Glendene as an Electronics Engineer. It’s a wide and varied job and I believe my MIT degree gave me the confidence and ability to succeed.”

“The best thing about the degree was the fantastic

lecturers. They always made time to understand your

problems and welcomed feedback, especially if you had a

different opinion to theirs. The small class sizes helped to

generate debate and discussion.

The degree definitely helped in getting the job I am in now,

especially the internet marketing focus. The management

“I knew I wanted a job in the shipping industry and the

Maritime School pointed me in the right direction. I

completed my Supply Chain Management Diploma last

year. I now have a specialised job as a cost controller in the

logistics departments of a shipping company. Studying at

the Maritime School was really fantastic. Being right on

the waterfront, opposite the port, the Maritime School is a

great location to study. We could see practical examples of

learning every day at the working port outside. This gave

me a much better understanding than simply learning from

a book. The location is also very helpful to international

students as it is right in the city and very easy to get to and

from. I am going to continue my studies at the Maritime

School this year with a Diploma in Shipping and Freight.”

“I really enjoyed the practical aspects of the course.

Having talked to students from other institutions it was

interesting to find that they hadn’t had as much practical

work as we had in our diploma programme. The Diploma

in Counselling at MIT is a very holistic and intense

course. As well as studying theoretical aspects you also

go through a personal process of working out where you

are in your own life. You become your own guinea pig

to some extent. I’m now working at a private Employee

Assistance Programme provider for workplace support

and I’m loving it.”

Tourism and Travel Graduate

”I’ve always had an interest in travel and tourism, but

because there were so many different opportunities I

wasn’t sure which area I would like to focus on. However,

my Certificate gave me the chance to look at these areas

and helped me make my decision as to what would be

best for me. The best part of it all has been getting a job,

because all of my hard work, study and advice from my

lecturers has paid off.”
