Our Students
Deedre Zibara
Macquarie was recommended by every Career Adviser I consulted. Bachelor of Business Administration with Bachelor of Arts - Psychology offers a wide range of information on many subjects I was either interested in, or had absolutely no idea about. I hope to graduate with a wealth of knowledge in Psychology within a business environment. At the same time, I hope to have learnt many social skills, met a lot of friends, and strengthened a network for work and leisure for my future.
