“The teaching staff are really helpful. I find that they are very supportive and 'go the extra mile' for their students.

For me, the Flinders Master of Information of Technology was the most attractive as the course subjects were technical. I researched other universities in South Australia, but most of them were focused on management. No other university was offering this technical focus and the reviews were really good – that's why I chose to study at Flinders. The learning experience and teaching quality at Flinders are very good. I enjoy the practical laboratory work, and the facilities are very good and the practical labs are excellent.”
