"Coming to Melbourne has given me the chance to really engage in and gain a much broader understanding of marketing. The teachers and the course are fantastic, and there are all sorts of opportunities. I did the Global Practicum in Kuala Lumpur, with a company called RSM - the word's 6th largest accounting firm. We workedwith them on a social media project to create a campaign that would reach their audience, while still operating within local regulations."
