UWA is a world-class institution for Agriculture, with esteemed professors and researchers who provide us all the tools to excel.
One thing I enjoyed most about my course was the opportunity to attend the 16th International Students Summit in Tokyo with a classmate. I made so many friends from top agricultural universities and I am sure we will be working together in the future to solve major agricultural challenges.
