Meet our Vice-Chancellor Scholarship Recipients.

Hi, I'm Linh Chi from Vietnam and I’m studying a Bachelor of Business (Marketing).

I have been asked a lot about my dreams and aspirations in the future. I used to wonder a lot, and my answer is: "I want to be a happy person." It is simple but also great.

Being a happy person means I would live for myself, make headway to attain values, broaden my horizon, and invest in my mind and soul. Moreover, a happy person is a giving person; I aspire to devote even small values to small communities.

A non-governmental or charitable organisation, is my ideal working space that fulfils my dreams of discovering the world and devoting myself to the community.

The Flinders Vice-Chancellor Scholarship is the recognition for my valiant effort and gives me a sense of pride and achievements. These would definitely boost me to be more creative, and more successful.

Why study in Australia?

Australia has a well-known education system, and its degrees are recognised all over the world. Graduating from an Australian university will be an edge in the competitive job market.

Moreover, Australia is a perfect blend of sandy beaches, inspiring landmarks, breathtaking rainforests, world heritage sites, and deserts. As a student, my holidays should be happily occupied visiting the many beautiful places in this remarkable country.

What will I do when I arrive in Adelaide?

I have imaged a hundred times about a lovely city where I can immerse both in the vibrant ambiance and magnificent natural landscapes. Thus, Adelaide is my dream city. Moreover, I can have a high-standard living at an affordable cost in this city

What is your advice for other students thinking about studying with Flinders University?

It took time to familiarise myself with a new educational approach in a different country. However, everything exceeds my expectations. Although topics are demanding, support from lecturers, tutors, and online services make them far more manageable.

My lecturers are approachable and conscientious – I realised the biggest obstacle is our fears. Hence, let yourself be confident, flexible, and use your initiative. Flinders has cutting-edge learning and professional staff who are always available to help you get the best experience.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?

Forgiveness would be my superhero power. I aspire that hostility, and envy are absent in my mind, so I can focus on enjoying true happiness and inspire others with positive energy.
