"My dream was to become a successful business woman and ACU had the course, extra-curricular activities and friendly welcoming vibe to assist me in making my dream a reality. I began by applying for P4B and was very relieved to find out I was accepted into the program and I had a guaranteed place before my Year 12 exams. I am currently in my final year of studies and undertaking professional work experience in marketing. I feel so blessed to have been able to meet and build relationships with other P4B students, lecturers and industry professionals. I know that the friends I have made in university will become friends for life as we have consistently supported each other throughout our degree.”
