Profile

Vicki Huang

Working in the Telstra Creator Space, I managed to upskill in a lot of metal working tools and find new ways to apply what I was learning in class, to something physical and real that demonstrated the concepts from my lectures. I’ve also met so many incredible, new people from the team and got to know them through my hours of making.

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.
