As an international student from Thailand, I chose to study the Bachelor of Business Transformation because I wanted to understand how businesses can improve, adapt and work more effectively in a changing world. I was interested in more than just learning business theory; I wanted to develop practical skills that could be used to solve real workplace problems and support positive change within an organisation. I chose AIA because the course focuses on practical and real-world learning, with supportive and experienced lecturers. The staff are friendly and approachable, so I always felt comfortable asking questions or seeking help when I needed it. One of the most valuable parts of my studies was my placement at Safe Steps, where I had the opportunity to apply what I had learned in a real workplace and gain experience outside the classroom. Overall, studying at AIA has helped me build my knowledge, practical skills and confidence, and has prepared me for the next step in my career. I would recommend AIA to international students who want a supportive learning environment and the opportunity to gain practical experience while studying in Australia.
