    Bachelor of Aerospace Systems Engineering (Honours)

    For Ryan, not only was there no better choice, but there wasn’t another option for the unique degree he wanted to study.

    "The University of Newcastle is the only university in Australia that offers aerospace systems engineering, so I was excited and intrigued to start learning exactly what was involved."

    This one-of-a-kind program will launch Ryan to the forefront of new technologies and developments in the aerospace industry, and prepare him for a varied and rewarding career.

    "My time has been a balance between theoretical and practical assignments, based primarily on aerodynamics and control. One thing I really love are the opportunities available. Varying from the facilities on campus and program projects, to the internships and work placement opportunities. There’s always something great you can be doing that will give you a good challenge. I can honestly say I’ve loved every minute of it!"

    Bachelor of Medical Science/ Doctor of Medicine (joint medical program)

    Bachelor of Medical Science/Doctor of Medicine student Leroy sums up his time at the University of Newcastle so far succinctly.

    "My time studying at the University of Newcastle has been full of different experiences and opportunities, and I can confidently say the great majority of those have been positive. Simply, the University of Newcastle is a friendly, [resourceful] environment. For me, it’s a place I’m more than happy to thrive in."

    And thriving is what he’s doing. Embarking on his journey to become a doctor, the support that has been offered to Leroy during his studies has helped him immensely: from the university itself, the community of fellow students he’s connected with through the Ma & Morley Scholarship Program, and to the second home he’s found in the Wollotuka Institute in particular. These support systems have ensured he’s able to navigate the ups and downs that come with studying. They’ve provided exciting experiences that have built his personal identity and left him with a ‘chunky list of memorable moments.'
