MONASH UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION YEAR
BACHELOR OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (HONOURS)
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER AT BRANIN RECYCLE AND PHD CANDIDATE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
"Studying Foundation Year was the fastest way for me to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering degree at Monash, one of the best and biggest engineering schools in Australia. I also love the fact that the classes are pretty small so you will have a better one-on-one interaction with the lecturers. The lecturers who guided me along the way have also provided the skills that I needed to work on my PhD. And I've grown to become more responsible, more mature and certainly more ready for the future."
