I knew AECC through a friend's recommendation. Because at first, I was quite vague about the study abroad route, so I just called to ask about studying abroad. Unexpectedly, the counselors are so thoughtful (What I love most is that from consulting to support for admission and Visa application, all are free). Thanks to that, I have found my study path and my loving school. Thank you very much at AECC. "Slightly showing off _ I still have a scholarship"
With the Master of Nursing Practice program, I will be able to fulfill my career goal. The program involves intensified clinical practice, which I believe is the best way to enhance one’s knowledge of the discipline. Activities which involve discussion of the global perspectives of nursing will equip me with knowledge to be a globally competitive nurse.
I will take Advanced Diploma of Information Technology at Southern Cross Education Institute as a continuation of the course I have studied here in the Vietnam that gained me a vocational education.
