A university education is an integral part of a young adult’s life as it equips you with new knowledge, trains you in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, encourages creativity and independent thought.
While academic theory is important, equally important is the application of your knowledge and skills in a workplace context, where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
