Student Stories - Studying at CIT

The facilities are really good. I like the campus I am on.

I'm studying Leadership and Management, and Canberra was my first choice as a place to study. This course satisfied what I was looking for.

The skills I learn at CIT I apply in my everyday life. It’s helping me at home, at work, and in life. After this course, I want to become a chef and maybe after that…open my own restaurant.

I evolved while I was at CIT. I finally found myself and redefined my purpose.

I chose CIT because I had heard from past students that CIT has very interactive classes and supportive teachers, which I now know is very true. I have so many teachers who are my friends; we still talk today even after I’ve finished my studies.

When I think of Canberra, I think of the Spanish word Querencia. It means home ground.

I chose my course because I want a career in medicine and to be guided in preparing for university.

I learned more about what I needed to face on my career path and gained a lot of confidence along the way that will help me succeed in the field of my dream.

CIT is a great school because they provide great facilities for international students. The best thing about CIT is the location. My campus is located in the city so it’s very accessible.  Also, the teachers and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Teaching methods at CIT are different as they concentrate on practical more than theory which is really good.

I chose to study hairdressing because I've always dreamt of becoming a hairdresser and CIT had a very good reputation.

I chose the Interior Design program because it fit the education I was seeking… the teachers in the program have been incredible.

The reason why I chose CIT over other alternatives is because I knew it would be more practical and useful for my future career.

I like CIT very much because even though we have to do things by ourselves, the teachers are always willing to help and guide us with our studies. They teach us practical things that can be helpful in the real world.

I chose to study at CIT because of the flexibility of its programs and the outstanding awards the institution has received.

The teaching style at CIT is interactive and engaging, with open and group discussion which I think is really important.

I like Canberra for a lot of reasons. I did a bit of research before coming here because my parents were a bit scared for me, but once you Google everything you find that Canberra is one the safest cities in the world.

I work with disadvantaged children in my home country. I volunteered to do the course at CIT so I could pass on my new knowledge back home.

Studying at CIT has been a great experience because we have people coming from all over the world to study here.

Many services are available to CIT students to make sure you do not feel lost or nostalgic, they help make CIT a home away from home!

CIT staff are really friendly, motivating and supportive... because of my teacher and his guidance I won a bronze medal in the 2017 World Skills Australia competition representing Canberra region in the restaurant service category.
