Davide-Doctor of Philosophy (Agriculture)Name: Davide
Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Agriculture)
Country: Italy

"I am looking at nitrogen management of rain-fed wheat in Mediterranean environments, through the integration of remote sensing information. I have developed my research project, have been tutoring students and making connections with the academic world. I like the relaxed environment of Melbourne: its parks, its cafes and restaurants, and I've found people very friendly. Melbourne has a lot of cultural events, sport and entertainment. I enjoy taking part in them."

Christophe-Master of EnvironmentName: Christophe
Degree: Master of Environment
Country: France

"My main motivation for enrolling for a Masters with the Office for Environmental Programs after ten years working in the financial sector was a growing feeling that the traditional approach to business needs to be changed dramatically if the world is to have a long-term future. The multi-faculty approach of the program encourages precisely the broadening of the scope of our reflection."

Sandra-Bachelor of Arts (Honours)-SwedenName: Sandra
Degree: Bachelor of Arts (Honours)
Country: Sweden

"The first issue that hit me when I first arrived was my inadequate academic English knowledge and the struggle to write essays as well as the local students. The only solution for me was to study twice as hard as everybody else which turned out to be highly rewarding later on in my degree as it prevented me from 'slacking off'."
