“For I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future” Jeremiah 29:11.
This scripture has always given me hope and assurance that no matter what circumstances I may go through, God has a prosperous plan for my life.
Being accepted to study at IBS is no exception of a blessing. It has given me the utmost privilege of studying an Australian degree on-shore. A year 12 student from Port Moresby National High School, I started with Diploma in Business, the beginning of my international degree. I have now successfully completed my SCU Bachelor of Business (Accounting). To be graduating with a world-class degree this May is an achievement I am blessed to receive. I give praise & glory to my God for I know I wouldn’t have received this without His wisdom, guidance and direction.
Like others have mentioned in their testimony, there have been a whirlwind of emotions for all of us who have graduated and are graduating. The group studies, sitting at the hall sharing lunches while crunching numbers as well as the late nights and staggering to class was indeed worth it. I believe they were eye openers to many diverse and ongoing future career developments for us as graduates from IBS.
Furthermore, during my studies I found the lecturers to be very supportive. They put extra efforts into getting everyone through the course to the best of their potential, providing materials, interaction and instant feedback. I also found value in meeting other students, meeting & making new friends and listening to their ideas and experiences, which combined with the caring lecturers and theory, helped me enjoy my studies at IBS.
The advice I would give to students who are considering IBS, I encourage you to look at the whole package of what IBS has offers; the courses are challenging, exceptional supporting lecturers & staff. I can assure you at IBS there is a place for everyone. I believe the learning experience gained has truly better equipped me and improved me as an individual and I would like to thank IBS for such an experience. I honestly could not have done it without the help and support of everyone here at IBS. Special thanks to my family especially my parents for the sacrifice they have made in paying for my fees to study an international degree. I am forever thankful and grateful for everything they’re doing and above all to God for supplying all my needs in accordance to His riches. I am indeed a living testimony of God’s promise when He said that “With Him all things are possible” Philippians 4:13.
A word of appreciation to Team IBS, to Mr Sadiq Ali (Director) and Mr. Mick Nades (Chairman) for providing an Institution that provides opportunities. Thank you also for making my studies here at IBS a memorable one. As I venture out to take on board the challenges ahead and chase after my dream I will continue to promote IBS. It is because of the relationship with Southern Cross University that I was able to acquire an internationally recognized Degree that beyond doubt equips me to go into the world and succeed. I can again assure you that at IBS….. THEY DO MAKE GRADE 10 & 12 SCHOOL LEAVERS INTO DEGREE HOLDERS!
