Macquarie is the best place to study CPA in Australia says Indian student

[Music] Hi, my name is Arjun Sharma. I'm from India and I'm doing Masters in Accounting
CPA exchange here. I choose doing Masters in
Accounting CPA exchange program because I have done my Chartered
Accountancy from India. I think this is the best place
for one to take entry in CPA.

This is the integrated program. Macquaire is the only Uni which provides this program
in Australia. I came here in June 2013. I started my program from July,
so it's been like six months.

The best I have learned
from this Uni, and after coming to Sydney,
is how to balance our life. I think time management is a crucial factor in
everyone's life. In India, I was okay sorts and I was not that much
into time management. But here, time management
is really crucial.

The other thing is the studies. I had to start from scratch,
just go in a subject. I think this is the best thing. I have to refer to case laws.

I have to go in the [?], So all these things
help me in my future. I'm planning to
practicing as a CPSO. I think that's going to help me
when my clients will come to me, they will ask me some questions. I think that's going
to help me a lot.

I'm working as a
financial analyst with a financial firm in Sydney. The work culture here
is totally different. For everything, you
are accountable. There is no supervisor.

There is no lower staff. Everything you have
to do by yourself. I think I got this job because
of two things - because of my accounting degree, the
Chartered Accountancy Degree, plus I am studying in Macquaire. Because my employee is so
much fascinated by Macquaire, he also did his MB
from Macquaire.

When I went to him and
he took my interview, he straight away
said, "All right, you are studying in Macquaire. That's fine, I know
you're a hard worker, so I think that helped me a lot. This is a dream
university I think, because it has got
everything a student wants. A green campus - it's
not a campus basically, it's a green park, I think.

Big buildings and a park. Then you get a quite
big aquatics center, gym, park, theater,
everything is here. I think nothing is missing. Plus the biggest advantage
is, it's close to the city.

It's not too much far. The transport facilities
are very nice. They have got their
own train station, so it's not difficult
to come here. Plus, overall, the
education system, the ranking, they have got five stars just a few
months back in QS.

Rating, so it's pretty good. The teaching staff, really
they are highly qualified, very friendly, and very helpful. [Foreign] Everything is perfect. If you are planning to, I think
Macquaire is the best option you can choose.
