Melbourne to awesome Sydney beaches...

It was an awesome trip to Sydney beaches which are some of the cleanest and most abundant of any tourist area in the world. The pristine waters of the Pacific wash up on their shores every day, and the mild climate means there is always plenty of greenery around to detract from the heat of the sun reflected off sand and water.

There are plenty of famous beaches in NSW, Bondi, Manly and Coogee are well known around the world, while harbour beaches include Balmoral. There are hundreds of gorgeous beaches up and down the coast.

La Perouse is a beautiful beach, but in a very strange kind of way. The La Perouse peninsula is the far northern end of Botany Bay. The old military outpost at Bare Island is fascinating, and is somewhat the defining feature of the area. A great spot have not so much a swimming or snorkelling hole, but one to soak up the history of the area and enjoy the severe beauty of the area.

Sydney has an amazing variety of beaches - if you only make it to Manly, Cronulla and Bondi in your time in Sydney, you are definitely missing out!

Have fun guys!

It was a great Saturday night at my place for my cousin’s 21st. I realized organizing a party can sure be one heck of a stress. From the decorations, to the guests down to the menu, it can eat up a lot of time and energy leaving you drained with the pressure and headache that goes stronger as the countdown to the big day approaches. My cousin and I had to spend couple of nights to get the decorations done as both of us were busy with uni work. It was awesome to see our old friends and relatives and to have a couple of drinks and hit the dance floor!

I love partying usually on weekends to relax; it makes me more energetic for the coming busy week. There are plenty of clubs and bars around Melbourne at affordable prices. You really don’t need to worry about the cost of a night out because most of the clubs are free of entrance fees before 10pm. It is a great experience to have fun with friends in a night out in the Melbourne city with bright lights, music and evening breeze ushering everyone towards jumpers!

Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity!

In CQUniversity today, no matter what kind of academic program you are studying, the majority of your time will be spent away from lectures, laboratories and your project groups.

A variety of activities on campus kept me busy for the nearly two years of my degree. It was such an important part of my university career, being absorbed in so many different things away from my studies, and it helped me grow personally and probably made me a better student. My experience is so typical of a postgraduate life, where involvement in university life is more than just studying or meeting the next assignment deadline.

CQUniversity Student Association offers social facilities and discounts for all registered student members that can include restaurants, pubs and movies tickets, all of which enjoy university subsidies to reduce the costs of a night out. Whether you are the next king or queen of the dance floor, or a budding Australian Idol, such social facilities cater to your interests and budget, while helping you make lifetime friendships.

All these extra-academic activities have an important role to play after the completion of a postgraduate program. With more and more young people able to attend university, there are now more postgraduates than ever before making the employment situation competitive.

Enjoying a challenging academic postgraduate program in a top university is making the most of the overall experience is entirely different. Leaving home for the first time, living away from your friends and family, possibly in another country, and creating your own environment is as much a part of going to university as gaining your degree certificate at the end of two years. Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity!

CQUniversity to open my eyes to a new world...

I am Nimna from Sri Lanka, now studying at CQUniversity Melbourne. Upon beginning my program ‘Master of Information Technology’, I experienced a certain sense of hesitation, due to the fact that I was unsure about how I’ll fit in with the program and my fellow classmates and I was nervous about starting something new and exciting in a different country. This was the beginning of a new path in my life. With the guidance of excellent staff, now I feel I am successful in each and every aspect in my life.

My time at CQUniversity has given me so much in terms of education and experience. I have learnt much from other cultures and now I have friends all over the world. It gave me the opportunity to learn more about life and how I should achieve my goals with confidence.
I got the opportunity to participate in many interesting activities like sports day, multi-cultural day, multi-cultural dinner, various training sessions and up-to-date information sessions regarding immigration rules and job opportunities from reputable organisations etc.

Learning involves more than just fulfilling the course work. CQUniversity gave me the resources I need to clarify my path through the study experience. It is proven by placing my academic performance in a high achieving category for both semesters that I have completed. I appreciate the time and effort lecturers spend to help students in assignments and difficult study areas in addition to lectures and tutorial sessions.

It’s such a pleasure studying at CQUniversity.
