Olga found being an international student from Russia easy in Melbourne, and at Monash in particular. With the high number of students coming to study from all over the world, she found all the difficulties and issues they may encounter had been considered long before her arrival.

In Russia there is a lack of specialists with the knowledge in the modern aspects of information systems. This made the Master of Business Information Systems Professional at Monash attractive for several reasons.

First of all, Monash is a member of the Group of Eight research intensive universities and is highly rated in the world university ratings. Secondly, the course provides an opportunity to study a variety of units from all major aspects of the broader information technology and business realm. Everyone can find a specialisation to suit their current employment needs and choose units that are up-to-date and meet the current market requirements.

Finally, the course is certified by Australian organisations such as ACS and the Library Associations, which allows graduates the opportunity to pursue local employment after graduation.
