“The most important thing from my degree was the ability to do the industry internship. The school worked with me to set up an internship with CSIRO and this was the springboard for my career and it really helped.”

I feel like there's so much room for creativity  in information technology. You can make it really creative and very fun. My name is Mrisha Upadhyay.  I am an international student. I come from Nepal. I realised that I really enjoyed working on the  design part of it, just the interactive part,  you know, talking with the clients and making  the design more interactive according to their  preference. So, that's the reason I chose Masters  of Information Technology with the user experience  specialisation. We are the five-star university  in students support. We also have relatively  small class size. It's also mean that you  have better chance to talk to your tutors,  your lecturers. We can do internships so I  started it before my unit starts for the following; term. So I'm doing uh working as an assistant  webmaster intern in a Brisbane-based company. So,  it's work from home. And then we do team  meetings. I'm working with a lot of senior  developers as well so it's quite good to get your  feet on the field. So, as part of my degree we use  Unity as a software to develop games. The VR, the  simulators are actually used as part of developing  games and also as part of developing any AR or  VR technology so those ones are like really good  to just understand what you're developing as well  and just to dive into it and actually experience  it as well. After graduating I really want to  work in the industry. I feel like I have enough  knowledge now to just dive into the workforce  so I want to work as a UX or UI designer so  I'm trying to develop my CV accordingly and  taking help from my professor just to make my  portfolio stand out and work in the field for some  years and maybe start my own business later on.
