Alumni
"I chose Western Sydney University primarily for its renowned property program, which is considered one of the best in Sydney. The strong alumni network employed in top property companies and institutions was also a significant factor in my decision," Kelly said.
"The Property degree at Western is accredited by industry groups, which is great for my career. Moreover, the program's emphasis on practical, hands-on project assignments, rather than solely relying on exams, was appealing, especially as a full-time worker," Kelly said.
"My lecturers would share their own research findings and real-life case studies during class, which made the learning experience even more practical and interesting with hands-on group projects where I could apply what I learned in class to real-life situations."
- Kelly Pham, Master of Property Investment and Development
