โœจTurning Degrees Into Careers โ€” Hear It From Our International Graduatesโœจ

Bachelors degree to Entrepreneurshipโœจ๐ŸŒโžก๏ธโœจ

Devika loved Biology and wanted to study Biotechnology, but couldnโ€™t find the program in Indonesia. She began looking for scholarships abroad, and the University of Waikato caught her attention.

She's now an entrepreneur, building a start-up in cosmetic manufacturing in Bandung, her hometown, turning her passion for biotech into real-world impact โ€” proving that a Waikato degree can truly open doors to exciting entrepreneurship ๐Ÿ’ผโœจ.

We love seeing our alumni excel โ€” and Devikaโ€™s story is just getting started ๐ŸŒŸ

As our Study Abroad students from the US wrap up their journey at Waikato, we asked them to look back on their experience one last time. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

From their favourite memories and to the weirdest Kiwi foods they tried along the way ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•, their answers did not disappoint. ๐Ÿ˜‚

One thing's for sure: unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a few questionable food choices along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Safe travels, and thank you for being part of our Waikato whฤnau! ๐Ÿ’™
