Miriam Brandt Germany Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology and Chemistry) I heard about JCU and their excellence in Marine Biology and Environmental Science and looked it up on the Internet, and it was just the best choice for both its location and strong research focus. Now that I’m here I really enjoy the well-structured programs, the many field trip opportunities available (in amazing locations), the helpful lecturers, tutors and staff. I also had the opportunity to do a double major at JCU. This gave me knowledge across different areas and will further promote my career opportunities. The emphasis given in writing skills is also something I would never have received in my home country. I’m excited to be starting my Honours year at JCU. 34 James Cook University Australia
