PSB Academy was picked as my preferred institution since the academy offers the finest programmes. I have friends who are alumni of the school, and I could tell they had a good time studying and learning at PSB Academy. Moreover, PSB Academy partners with various universities from across the world so that I don’t need to travel too far from my native country, Indonesia. Furthermore, Singapore is safe and accessible to many places with a fuss-free transportation system. Singapore also offers a variety of food that is both economical and excellent.

Both PSB Academy and The University of Newcastle, Australia (UON) curricula are so flexible, and I have time to broaden my abilities and knowledge. My lecture and tutorial experiences have been great. The classes have given me a better idea of what to expect in my future work, which I would like to keep up with. It has been an excellent way for me to learn about different subjects with the help of learning tools from UON and PSBA. The lecturers are excellent at teaching as well as being interactive in classes. They are there to help us when we are facing struggles. For example, my entrepreneurship lecturer has helped me with my project. Due to the pandemic, we could not meet face to face, but he gave me an individual consultation through email.

When I started my diploma, the pandemic hit, and my studies were shifted online. My online studying experience has been excellent. Even though online lessons might be difficult owing to signal issues at times. However, the lecturers are so adept at instructing that most of the class is participatory. Online learning is also far more convenient than on-campus learning. Aside from that, it is simpler for me to revisit the lecture when I am trying to understand the few points that I have missed or do not fully get.

Besides equipping myself with technical skills, I’ve also honed my soft skills. PSB Academy has several student clubs, such as the Indonesian club, dance club, sports club, etc. By joining one of these clubs, I challenged myself to broaden my leadership skills.
