Sydney Business School University of Wollongong

At the end of the day it’s about you. Your aspirations, your expectations, your future. At Sydney Business School, University of Wollongong we understand that when it comes to enhancing your personal brand, what happens outside the classroom is just as important as what happens in it.

It’s all about meeting the right people, exchanging business cards (yes it’s old fashioned, but it still works), connecting on social media, and building up a professional network that will help take you to the next stage of your career and beyond. That’s why our students attend industry conferences, professional development events, master classes, media events, social gatherings, and other major industry engagements hosted by Sydney Business School. Outsiders pay but you attend for free. It’s all part of the Sydney Business School experience, even our degrees are designed with this in mind. Classes are not just learning from a textbook. They’re a combination of theories, practices and relevant industry experiences. Working in teams with students from a wide range of professional and cultural backgrounds, you will learn to solve problems, develop business proposals and present your ideas. Many of our academics come from consulting backgrounds and transform that expertise into an engaging “real-world” experience. You’ll be pushed out of your comfort zone from time to time, but that’s all part of the journey. A journey that will help you shape your personal brand.
