Student story
Ming Chua
As predicted by the UN, the world population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. We need to find ways to intensify agriculture to meet our needs but at the same time look after the environment we live in. I want to change the world for the better and make a difference. The opportunity to pick up a second major in Conservation Biology (with advanced standing) gives me the knowledge required to understand the link between conserving the environment while achieving optimal output in agriculture.

UWA is a world-class institution for Agriculture, with esteemed professors and researchers who provide us all the tools to excel.

One thing I enjoyed most about my course was the opportunity to attend the 16th International Students Summit in Tokyo with a classmate. I made so many friends from top agricultural universities and I am sure we will be working together in the future to solve major agricultural challenges.

Student story
Tash Harrison

I was drawn to the course because I was looking for a degree which could develop my knowledge of Australia's unique biodiversity and provide me with the tools to work towards preserving it in the future.

I was also delighted that the course provided a chance to gain practical experience, as well as theoretical and lab-based skills.

The highlight of my degree was definitely the two field courses I took part in (Coral Bay and Albany). Both courses were full of like-minded people who are still my good friends today.

They gave me practical experience which helped to set me up for future jobs and studies, and fostered my passion for fieldwork, Australian wildlife, and conservation biology!

I also found that all the lecturers within the degree were passionate, and keen to engage and help where possible. They were supportive and made classes more enjoyable.

If you are a person who enjoys being in the bush, and appreciating Australia's unique wildlife, and you are looking to be equipped with the tools to preserve and manage our biodiversity for future generations, then this degree would suit you well!

After finishing my degree, I put my practical skills to use and worked as a research assistant in South Africa. I then further developed my theoretical skills by completing a MSc in Quantitative Environmental Sciences at the University of Zurich.

I am now looking to start a PhD and to pursue a career where I can use my knowledge and unique skillset to provide solutions to the real-world problems that our biodiversity is facing, in order to preserve and protect it for generations to come.

Graduate story Stephanie Mather

Conduct of Operations and Digital Advisor, Chevron Australia

"After completing my degree, I started my career with Chevron. The many hours dedicated to my thermodynamic unit came in handy for my first role, modelling changes to LNG facilities."

"In 2014, I went Fly-In-Fly-Out, spending four years on Barrow Island for the commissioning and start-up of the Gorgon LNG Project. This position gave me a lot of hands-on experience and familiarity with equipment and instrumentation. The added benefit was the time off to travel, seeing Uluru and several overseas trips."

"I finished my FIFO time in Production support, spending several hours a day looking at trends, working with operations to optimise the front-end of the facility. The huge amounts of data we were trying to consume led me to pursue post graduate study in data science and bringing information straight to the person who needed it."

"After FIFO, I joined our Digital Acceleration team. Personally I am very proud of extending iPhones to our frontline workforce, a technological innovation for our industry that has transformed how work is done. Currently as Conduct of Operations Advisor I provide systems and process to perform work in a disciplined and safe manner across all of Chevron Australian's facilities. I relish utilising my understanding of chemical engineering, process safety and digital systems (within which most work is executed!). My connection back to UWA is strong. The seven years I spent at UWA was certainly memorable, and I am always proud to be back on campus as an industry representative. Through my involvement, I hope to contribute to an engineering profession that is inclusive to people of diverse backgrounds. In industry, as a committee member for both the Women PetroTech and Pride Networks within Chevron Australia, I have advocated making the workplace more inclusive for non-traditional families. I feel fortunate to contribute to university events and mentoring programs, giving insights to students about the energy industry."

Electrical Engineer, GHD

"After UWA, I started my career with GHD in their Sydney office as an electrical engineer. I've been with the company 4 years now and I enjoy the range of projects I get to work on. From renewable energy to mining to water infrastructure and even defence - no two projects are ever the same. I started as a graduate but have progressed my knowledge and experience and now take on project manager and lead technical roles.

"A typical day could involve Safety in Design meetings, Solar PV modelling, developing single line diagrams and power supply options for industrial plants, or coordinating with Electricity distribution network providers. Some projects take me to sites both within the Sydney region and regional NSW whereas others will keep me behind my desk."

"A highlight is being able to watch my designs come to life and experience the full life-cycle of a project from the early design stage all the way through to installation and commissioning. I was very fortunate to have studied renewable energy within my degree at UWA. This has been a big part of my career since graduating and as an electrical engineer will likely be a big part of my career in the future as Australia and the world transition to a greener future."
