Would she like her new city? But as soon as she set foot in Adelaide, Gurleen knew she\u2019d made the right choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the day I started at Flinders, I have always felt so welcomed by everyone around me whether it has been my peers or lecturers, everyone is so supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere (at Flinders), you are taught things that are of value in the future. Along with studying, there are so many things to do for fun at Flinders. I found a home away from home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, after completing her three-year bachelor\u2019s degree earlier in 2022, she has formed strong friendships within the international student community in Adelaide, valuing the opportunity to connect with students from other cultures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe international student community at Flinders is very supportive of each other, I truly feel blessed to be around my international mates at Flinders. You not only meet people from your own country but also from other countries and you get to know about their amazing culture as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_501\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-501\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-501\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2022\/12\/tonsley-campus-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Students at Flinders Tonsley campus\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2022\/12\/tonsley-campus-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2022\/12\/tonsley-campus-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2022\/12\/tonsley-campus-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2022\/12\/tonsley-campus.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-501\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students at Flinders&#8217; Tonsley campus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Why study Information Technology at Flinders? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As an exciting industry with a projected employment growth of 24.5% through to May 2024, and with Adelaide booming as a national hub for new technologies, Flinders IT degrees are designed in close collaboration with industry to meet the demand for graduates who have the skills to develop systems and solutions for the digital world.<\/p>\n<p>For Gurleen, she was attracted to studying a degree in IT due to her love of innovation and solving problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always had a keen interest in programming, and I love solving problems. What excites me the most about my field is that everyone\u2019s ideas to solve a single problem is so unique, and uniqueness is always what makes you stand out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With world-class facilities available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flinders.edu.au\/campus\/tonsley\">Tonsley<\/a>, our $120m teaching and research hub of innovation and entrepreneurship, students also have access to state-of-the-art equipment, laboratories, and study spaces throughout their degree to confidently build their work-ready skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy course focuses on core IT concepts such as programming, database modelling, networking and cybersecurity topics and software engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students also have the opportunity to work professionally in a team environment through group projects or undertake first-hand industry experience with a 12-week or 20-week placement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the chance to do 20-week IT placement during my studies at Flinders.

Gurleen has also spent time working within Flinders International as a Student Ambassador making phone calls to prospective students and sharing personal stories of her experience at Flinders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, Flinders was more affordable than all other universities in Adelaide and I enjoy the way we are supported at Flinders.
