Great choice never regretted
Karen Marin rated 5 out of 5 stars
The course has many subjects related to the profession and fundamental knowledge that as a student is crucial to know. Flinders have so many staff that help you with improvement in your studies, they guide you to do essays and even how to study for an exam. I'm very satisfied with this university not only for the great amenities included but most of the tutors are great...
