Hi, I'm Amali from Kandy, Sri Lanka. I'm
currently doing my PhD in agriculture at
Federation University Australia. What I
like most about this university is its
great location which is very calm and
quiet. Secondly I love the facilities it
provides both for relaxation and for
your studies, including well-equipped
laboratories, gymnasium, clubs and a lot
of societies which you can engage in.
The people here in Federation University
are just like a family. You can count on
anybody whenever you need support.
Everybody's very helpful. Being an
international student this is very
valuable. I feel very lucky to have a
wonderful supervisor who is very
supportive and is an expert in the
field I'm working in for my PhD, so he is
capable of providing all the support
which I need. Amali is doing a key project
in the agriculture and weed sector. The
beauty about this project is I brought
in key industry partners towards this
project to supervise. Amali has all
the correct skills and she also recently
won key awards at the recently held conference at FedUni as well.
Ballarat is a beautiful regional city with a
friendly community. It is
affordable and the quality of life is
great. It is easy to get to Melbourne and
also to many other interesting places.
I'm really lucky to receive a full
scholarship from Federation University
that covers both my tuition fees and all
my living costs. That really helps me to
focus on my studies and achieve my best.
In the future, I want to actively engage as
an environmental scientist in the
industry, so the experience, the support
and the knowledge I get from Federation
University will help me to achieve my
goals.
Come and join me at Federation
University.
