Originally from Sri Lanka, Mahoshadi chose to study at Flinders University because of its strong reputation, affordable fees, and the scholarship she was awarded to support her while studying. She knew she wanted to study in Australia but needed to choose a university and course that aligned with her career goals.<\/p>\n
Graduate work-ready<\/h3>\n
The Master of Business (International Business)<\/a> is designed to prepare future managers for positions of responsibility in international organisations. The degree emphasises international business strategy, management, marketing, and finance. It frames contemporary business issues in a global context, which excited Mahoshadi. \u201cWith globalisation and the rapid integration of world economies, a businessperson needs to develop a global mindset in order to connect and operate effectively with diverse markets, people, cultures, and information across countries.\u201d<\/p>\n Mahoshadi has a passion for international business. \u201cUnderstanding global issues and preparing for diverse business opportunities around the world excites me,\u201d she says. \u201cI love diversity, integrating and sharing knowledge with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and working with international companies to help solve business issues and exploit opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout her course, Mahoshadi has had access to a range of projects which have helped her understand international business and leadership principles. The Flinders University Work Experience Program<\/a> has provided her with work experience while studying. The program gives the business community access to enthusiastic volunteers preparing for their careers.<\/p>\n \u201cI am planning to undertake an internship and consulting project this semester. I\u2019ll have the opportunity to put what I have learnt in the classroom into practice. It will be great to understand how a real company works,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Mahoshadi thinks Dr Ezaz Ahmed, the former MBA director at Flinders University and her teacher for the subject \u2018Managing People\u2019, is the most influential person she has met at Flinders Business. \u201cHe was an inspirational character who made learning not just a one-off thing – where you study to pass an exam – but a lesson in self-exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n While studying in Australia Mahoshadi is also freelancing as an artist and fashion designer. She plans to combine her international business education with her love of fashion. \u201cI\u2019ve kick-started my career in the fashion retail industry to gain experience, and I plan to launch my own fashion startup,\u201d she says.<\/p>\nTailored work experience<\/h3>\n
It\u2019s no wonder that Flinders Business<\/a> is No. 1 in Australia in Business & Management for overall experience The Good Universities Guide 2020 – overall quality of educational experience (postgraduate)<\/h4>\n
