Singaporean Student in Australia Gets A Second Qualification through PurpleTrain.com and Comes Out Tops

Singaporean Stephanie Neubronner is a lady who embraces challenges. It comes as no surprise then that she is concurrently studying her undergraduate studies in Psychology in Australia and her Higher Diploma in Mass Communication via PurpleTrain.com.

What is even more amazing is that Stephanie graduated as one of the top two graduates in her Higher Diploma class despite her dual study load.

Stephanie chose the e-Learning route to study her Higher Diploma, as it was the best choice to accommodate her going overseas to study. It also allowed her to work at the same time before she left for Australia. If e-Learning had not been available, Stephanie would not have pursued her Higher Diploma as it would have been difficult for her to attend classes.

“e-Learning offered flexibility, together with the ability to pace my own study schedule. At the same it time, it allowed me the option of pursuing other commitments without much disruption,” Stephanie said.

Stephanie commented on how she managed her studies,

“I studied when I had to, prioritized my time and planned my schedules, allowing ample time for studies as well as other commitments. E-Learning may seem easy as there is no one to physically monitor your progress and you can work at your own time and pace. It is however, very demanding in terms of self-discipline and self-motivation as you have only yourself to rely on.”

The course has allowed Stephanie to gain a broader insight into the fields of mass communications and business, and provided her with the necessary skills that she will need in her career either in psychology, mass communications or human resource management.

With her positive outlook, we are confident that this avid scuba diver and outdoors lover will go far in her chosen career.

Congratulations on graduating top of your class, Stephanie !
