Success Stories

Catherine Matthews

Platform Development Manager, Macquarie Group, Sydney
Director, GWS Giants

"I absolutely loved studying my Masters at the University of Melbourne. I learnt to try new things, I learnt the value of being authentic, and how important it is not to be a carbon copy of everyone else – but to embrace being different."

Melania Guzman

Learning and Organisational Director at L'Oreal, China.

"I remember in my first class, Strategic Human Resources, my lecturer asked ‘how many nationalities do we have in the room. In a group of 60 we had 25 different nationalities. It was fascinating; it was like having a United Nations meeting. Everyone had such a unique, diverse perspective to HR topics which made the class so insightful."
