"Swinburne was my personal choice since it is internationally recognised and has strong links with many industries. Swinburne offered me quality education with face-to-face tips and guidance from industry CEO’s and practitioners. I had the best time learning with my professors and classmates who were project managers and businesspeople themselves. Studying at Swinburne pushed me to the limits and facilitated meeting and collaborating with people from different walks of life."
