Graduating: or, how I got inspired about my career
Published by Davina | Filed under Uncategorized
As of today, I am officially a graduate of the Masters of Information Management degree at Queensland University of Technology.
It feels a little anti-climactic though as the ceremony was in Brisbane, and seeing I’m here in London I couldn’t attend. And I’d even forgotten it was happening until one of my coworkers reminded me! I handed the last piece of assessment in in July, so I’ve felt finished for a couple of months now.
The last semester of study was one of the best I’ve done. It was that semester that got me inspired about my choice of career and made me want to get involved. It was part of the impetus for starting this blog and for getting more involved in the professional associations that exist in London. Even though I was studying externally I still felt like I was a part of something bigger and that I needed to give back to that.
The first steps of my career have been taken and I think they’re heading in the right direction.

Congratulations! I am going to the QUT Graduation on Thursday! I finished the tiniest bit out of step. Finished around Easter and had to wait until now to graduate. Finished…registered with QLD College of Teachers, etc…but I still look forward to holding the parchment in my hand :-) Then maybe start a Masters by research.
It is a shame they don’t have a London ceremony. They have them in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia…
I would say there would be quite a few graduands to end up in the UK before receiving their parchment..but obviously not as many as there are that go home to SE Asia.
I could make a life size picture using the program ‘rasterbator’ and take you along?? haha (There are some examples pics on my blog)

Thanks Nathan and Nicky!
It would be nice if they had ceremonies in places other than Brisbane or Asia, but I guess it would get overwhelming fast! Especially when you think about the huge number of countries that students are from.
