I liked the environment and computing facilities available and standard of living in Brisbane. The degree has provided me with both a theoretical and practical background allowing me to apply my knowledge in practical and verbal ways.
The opportunity to obtain a fully paid scholarship up to honours level was another reason I applied. I could have delved into a multimedia degree but decided to take up IT instead for something different. And I suppose its paid off because I managed to get the full scholarship.
With my honours thesis, Im doing a project related to digital narrative for children, which is an area I would probably have never considered simply because its very multidisciplinary and not purely focused on computer science. Doing honours also provides me some insight into the life of a researcher. My long-term goals are to expand my business. My ultimate aim is to develop ways computers can be used to help people. I may possibly take up a PhD in the future, however I will still be running my own business. I am also employed by UQ as a research assistant and tutor, writing software to assist a senior psychology lecturer with her experiments and PhD students and providing practical advice and assistance to final-year IT students.
