pursuing a career in supply chain,

The interactive delivery method and
focus on applying theory into practice

chris leptos am:
KPMG is always recruiting and is
always looking for people with the
X factor. Good academic results are
expected. But the person who stands
out from the crowd has usually
demonstrated some connection
with the broader community, such
as volunteering, or leadership roles
in student organisations, or active
participation in sporting clubs
or part-time work.

Amongst all of its artistic and cultural
credentials, Melbourne is also undoubtedly
Australias sporting capital. Across the

such as the Australian Open Tennis, the
Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the glamorous
Melbourne Cup Carnival. Melbourne
is also the birthplace of Australian
Rules Football (AFL).
cafe culture
Melbournians love food and wine.
You can enjoy fine dining or delicious
meals on a budget, and sample cuisine
from all over the world.
joseph lim:
I moved to Melbourne because it felt like
home to me. People are always so nice to one
another and it is a city where you can always
feel safe in whatever you do. There are a lot
of fun things to do apart from studying and
I like to explore many places around here in
my spare time. Living here you experience an
urban and metropolitan city but at the same
time it is a very relaxed atmosphere.
