Meet our Vice-Chancellor Scholarship Recipients.

Hello my name is Chris from India and I’m studying Master of Public Health.

My driving force is the belief that I'd rather embrace new experiences, even if they come with the possibility of making mistakes than let fear hold me back from exploring.

My motivating factor is the belief in making change, however small it may be. The VC scholarship helped in that journey and opened doors to various opportunities and networks that have been instrumental in my growth. It has connected me with mentors and like-minded individuals who share my passion for making a positive impact on the world.

Why study in Australia?

I chose to study in Australia because its education system offers a holistic approach that not only emphasizes academics but also personal growth. I believe that studying in Australia will expose me to a diverse international community, fostering rich discussions and providing a more interactive learning experience.

What do you enjoy most about your degree? Do you have a favourite subject or project that you are currently working on?

What I truly love about my degree is how it constantly challenges me and pushes me out of my comfort zone. It doesn't let me make any assumptions, and it's been instrumental in my overall personal growth. As for my favorite subject, it's a tough call between "Economic Evidence for Healthcare Decision Making" and "Leadership and New Public Health." Both of them really captivate my interest, and I find them incredibly engaging.

My favourite things

When I'm not studying or working, you can often find me in the kitchen, pursuing my passion for cooking and baking. It's like my own little culinary adventure playground.

My hobbies differ with time and place but I have dabbled in sewing, crocheting, and occasionally sketching.

What would be your super hero power and why?

My superpower would be the ability to instantly know someone’s music and food taste. It may sound silly, but I think these two have the ability to transcend any barrier and I may just be able to achieve small wonders.
