David Bickett Principal, Mind Fusion The Sydney Business School Master of Business Coaching degree has assisted my career not only as a business coach, but also as an integral enhancement to my own business development capabilities. This is a direct result of applying the key skills I learnt, including deep listening, more effective questioning, and increased awareness. Applying a more humanistic coaching approach to clients and teams increased my effectiveness in strategic international business negotiations and subsequently supported the progress of my career toward senior management level coaching and negotiation, including C level managers and boards. Arush Kumarage Graduate Sydney Business School is one of the leading business schools in Australia and the Master of Science Logistics program is highly acclaimed both by academics and industry professionals. Since I was keen to further pursue my studies abroad, Sydney Business School fitted right into my requirements and has exceeded my expectations over the course of the last year. The learning experience has been beyond textbooks and technical knowledge. Within one year, the Master of Science Logistics program covered the primary subject areas of logistics and supply chain management, while discussions with lecturers and fellow students broadened my knowledge and understanding. The experience of studying at Sydney Business School provided many opportunities and cocurriculum experiences in terms of cultural, educational and career. The most exciting element of my study was the interaction and networking with other students and like-minded business professionals, as well the formation of lifelong friendships and business contacts. Not only has the Masters provided me with the knowledge and skills to enter into the industry, the many opportunities presented during my course have led to numerous avenues of career progression. Jing Zhang - Telstra I chose to study at UOW for its quiet and beautiful location. The campus is set in such a natural environment, which is very rare in China. The beaches and coastlines are very beautiful here, I enjoyed spending my time going out visiting these places. In addition, the free shuttle bus is very convenient. My degree gave me the opportunity to immigrate and stay in Australia and work as a professional accountant, which is what I am interested in. It also gave me the chance to study and live in another country. I find myself feeling happy and comfortable staying here, no matter whether I m studying or working. Besides studying, I participated in a number of other activities. I liked playing badminton in university clubs, staying fit using school gyms and pool. Also, I attended some events organised by International Student Program (ISP), including a trip to Canberra. Other activities I did included ICIS s English conversion group, the GWP subject, and some internship type projects conducting marketing practices in Huskisson. These programs and activities helped me engage with Australian lifestyle and culture, and I think they were useful for preparing me to work and stay in Australia. 11
