Profile
Amira Moshinsky
I took the engineering elective called ‘Creating Innovative Professionals.’ It’s a multidisciplinary subject, so people from different faculties come together in a few small teams to work through a problem posted by an industry partner.
Through a semester of interviews, research, data gathering and discussions, we ultimately landed on the raingarden concept which won the City of Melbourne Fishermans Bend Innovation Challenge (2022).
We're really excited about the future possibilities that this knowledge creation project could bring. If our data and results show that the recycled material raingardens function as effectively as conventional raingardens, we hope to see the design embedded within the fabric of Fishermans Bend and ultimately wider Melbourne.
Graduate pathways
Once you've completed your undergraduate degree, you can go on to gain employment or begin a graduate degree and work towards a professional qualification such as law, engineering or medicine. Or you could join our graduate research community and contribute to our world-changing research.
Your graduate degree will be internationally recognised, and set you apart from those who study a traditional Australian single or double degree.
