I’ve always enjoyed learning in a way that was both creative and impactful, so the environment at QUT always made me feel like it was the right choice for me.
I’m a consultant at Deloitte Digital, working under their customer strategy and design team. In this role, I work across several industries, helping clients implement human-centred design in the digital aspects of their business.
Studying a Master of Digital Communications at QUT gave me access to a blend of creative industry, sociology, and computer science knowledge, fields you wouldn’t think were related. Exposure to such an invaluable academic experience allowed me to foster an intangible skillset, which I wholeheartedly believe landed me my job at Deloitte Digital.
The course equipped me with the ability to gather and analyse data-driven insights using several software tools. In my role as a Consultant at Deloitte Digital, I use these data analytic and visualisation tools for my clients to communicate important key insights about their consumers and their business. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge and understanding of digital communication.
I also believe attending the networking opportunities offered throughout this course plays an indispensable role in entering the industry. Doing a masters degree is completely different to a bachelor's degree, as it’s generally a smaller cohort. Throughout my course, I made strong relationships with teachers and fellow students that have become important peers in my life. These people have introduced me to so many different networks. You get to meet industry contacts and really see how your study can be beneficial outside of academia if you choose to work in industry.
The key takeaway for me is the skills in data-analysis and visualisation that you gain from a Master of Digital Communications. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to analyse data and present it in a way that can be both creative and impactful. I use these skills that I learnt from my course in my career almost daily. However, even outside of work, this course has improved my critical thinking skills which has been so invaluable.
