Bachelor of Arts<br />

(Media and Communications)<br />

Mayuca is completing a<br />

Bachelor of Arts (Media and<br />

Communications) and her<br />

dream job is to become a<br />

publicist for a movie star. Her<br />

favourite subjects are History<br />

and Journalism.<br />

For Mayuca, the best and most surprising<br />

thing about studying at Melbourne is the<br />

freedom she has had to learn about herself:<br />

her likes and dislikes, what she wa<strong>nts</strong> out<br />

of life.<br />

“The highlight of my experience at<br />

Melbourne was being able to write my<br />

thesis on whatever I like,” Mayuca said.<br />

During the first few months at Melbourne,<br />

Mayuca said she settled into the new culture<br />

very easily, thanks to the good friends she<br />

made in college. When she completes<br />

her degree, Mayuca plans to spend some<br />

time with her family in Sri Lanka and then<br />

return to Melbourne to apply for permanent<br />

residency and a full-time job.<br />

“I chose to write on celebrity culture – I<br />

never thought that anyone would take me<br />

seriously, but they did.”
