Profile
Alejandra Bodago Tervit
International student, Alejandra, has chosen to tailor her Master of Education the Leadership and Management specialisation. She hopes the course will prepare her for leadership positions and give her the ability to train teachers to become better practitioners in her home country of Paraguay.
What helped me make the decision of studying the Master of Education was that there was the possibility to tailor the program to my interests through the electives. I chose the route that best fit my career purposes, which is the Leadership and Management major.
