Karlo
Karlo - Masters in Business Informatics
My favourite thing about Canberra is how well the city is integrated with nature. I can go and explore so many mountains, bushes, and other places with amazing sceneries without having to spend money. I love playing and learning different musical instruments, especially the keyboard and the drums.

Favourite thing about Canberra, bit unpopular opinion, but I love the quiet environment, the nature and the friendly people! I love anything creative, including singing, dancing and knitting. I also am a big gym person, loving heavy weights!

Riya
Riya - Bachelor of Information Technology
I moved here from India Three years back, to study at UC. It’s been such a welcoming city, and I’ve really enjoyed making it my home during my studies. I have a strong interest in cybersecurity, website development, and project coordination. Outside of tech, I enjoy yoga, fitness, and exploring new creative projects.

Kalam
Kalam - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Cybersecurity
I chose this field because cybersecurity has become a critical issue in today’s digital era, with incidents occurring frequently. My goal is to contribute to this field by conducting research that helps reduce and mitigate these security challenges. My favourite thing about Canberra is its beautiful scenic environment and the high quality of education offered here. The University of Canberra, in particular, not only provides excellent academic programs but also places a strong emphasis on the well-being of its students.
