Hear from our postgrad students

Mariam Khattab, Master of Teaching (Secondary)

“VU gave me the opportunity to be involved in fieldwork where I could apply the theory to real life practice while I studied. I definitely love to learn by doing, so it made perfect sense to stay at VU and complete my postgraduate teaching studies in a similar learning model.”
