I chose the University of Adelaide as it offers business in Agriculture & Food. The course
gave me the opportunity to study International issues in Agriculture, Food Marketing, Finance
and Accounting as well as learn different culture. I selected this course as I did my Master's
degree (Plant Breeding & Genetics) in Agriculture in India and thought it would help me to
develop management side of Agriculture. When I came to the University of Adelaide I was really
glad as it has all the facilities an International Student needs like 24 hours-a-day internet
and printing facilities and a good library. The lecturers are very friendly and helpful. I am
planning to join my family business (Pokar Agro Pty Ltd, India) after my study.
