My university experience has been truly enriching, both academically and in sports. As a second-year student, I actively participate in the university's sports life, playing football for the team and exploring other opportunities. Recently, I had the privilege to represent my university in the inter-UAE university boxing competition, where I secured second place. This achievement was a result of excellent preparation and guidance from my sports coordinator, Srijith. His professionalism and unwavering support made a significant difference in my training journey.
The university provides a well-rounded environment, fostering both academic growth and extracurricular involvement. The teachers here are knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring students succeed in their studies while also encouraging participation in various activities. The facilities and community spirit make this university a fantastic place to develop skills, build confidence, and create lasting memories. I’m grateful to be part of such an institution!

I am currently a second year student studying BSc Psychological Science at Curtin University. I have also worked in an internship program offered by Curtin University in association with the Transnational Academic Group. Working and learning with a professional staff has taught me great work ethics and skills that I will be carrying forward in my journey. As my internship comes to an end, I am honored to have worked with this organization.

Cyber security BOOOTCAMP @ Curtin University was indeed a good experience as it gave an insight of what cyber security is and basic understanding of it. This contributes while choosing the modules in the universities for career in future …. A certificate for participation adds value to the students cv. Thanks to Curtin Uni for the opportunity.
