I am enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts degree at The University of Melbourne. I have been studying part time for the past 3 years to enable me to balance sport, university and work with plans to complete my final 6 subjects this year and therefore my course by the end of 2025. I selected this course as it is quite broad initially covering a very wide range of subjects as I wasn’t entirely sure what my future focus would be. However, at school, I really enjoyed (and did well in) the subjects of Business Management, Fine Art and Media Studies which I felt I would be able to continue to explore within this degree. What I have found is a love for Marketing and Communications! The major stream I have selected for this degree is Media and Communications, allowing me to pick up the Marketing sub-stream subjects also.

I have completed subjects in Journalism, Print Media, Advertising. Other subjects that I have been able complete include Psychology, Georgraphy, Gender Studies, Entrepreneurship, Sports Coaching. This degree incorporates a Marketing sub stream with subjects such as Sports Marketing, Advertising, social media which I find stimulates my creative mind and has current real-world implications and examples.

I am absolutely loving this degree, it has sparked a passion in me for combing my world as an elite athlete, love of sport and the business of marketing and communications.
