Postgraduate Students
Hi my name is Tiffanny. I’m a postgraduate student at Women’s studying a Masters of Publishing. I’ve come to College after a career in marketing and corporate communications.
So why do I choose to live at Women’s College?
For me the costs of living at College are comparable with renting, but the benefits of being in the Women’s community are immeasurable. I have access to a great peer support network, academically, professionally and socially.
I have my own little apartment in the Maples, which is a separate postgraduate wing of the College. It’s really safe and secure, and there’s a great feeling of camaraderie between all the postgrads.
Living on campus is not only convenient geographically, but I don’t have to worry about meals or shopping, or even washing up! It’s all done for me, so I have more time to focus on my research and writing.
The College has found me two fabulous mentors. Working with two high profile leaders in their respective fields is challenging, and enabling me to harness my expertise and direct it into new career pathways.
I’m a tutor in marketing at College, so this gives me a bit of extra income. The undergrads are an inspiring group of young women.
I’m part of a proactive inter-college postgraduate community which creates opportunities for networking and social events.
