Martin Dieste
After finishing my Bachelor of Arts in International Management in Germany and working full time for approximately 1.5 years, I felt that obtaining a masters degree would be essential for my future career.
I was impressed by the different elective units on offer at Macquarie and the opportunity to add research projects. Crucial factor was that I could complete the degree within one year.
The international environment that I have encountered is perfect for establishing an international network that might be of great value for my future career.

Teaching styles are different here. At Macquarie University, classes are interactive and the group activities allow for lots of opportunities to make friends. The teachers are always sharing their work experience with students, especially in marketing. It is very important to get that knowledge as well as textbook knowledge.
