www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 25Roberta Andrade, 21Bachelor of Arts -InternationalRelations majorBrazilian student Roberta Andrade wants to save the world,and thinks the University of New South Wales, and soccer, canhelp. The 21-year-old Arts student from São Paulo wants to fightpoverty at home in Brazil and sees her major in InternationalRelations in her Bachelor Arts program as the important first step.She’s also a champion soccer player and believes internationalsport can be harnessed as a force for good.“I want to savethe world,” she says, her motivation stemming from theenvironmental damage and the dire poverty she has seen inBrazil.“It hurts when you see people destroying the Amazon,displacing animals and then treating them badly.”However, of even greater concern to her is the level of povertyin Brazil: “When I came to Australia and experienced life here, Irealised how pronounced poverty is in Brazil and I want to do all Ican to help.”For Roberta the Bachelor of Arts program is ideal, because itoffers such a wide range of courses. She’s especially happy withthe opportunity to study the Asia-Pacific region and Australia,which are not focused on in South America. “You can beanything you want and I know that my degree will open manydoors for me,” she says. Roberta is interested in diplomacy andinternational law and would ideally like to work for the UnitedNations in poverty alleviation.Like most Brazilians, Roberta loves soccer, and won a positionon the UNSW women’s soccer team to represent UNSW at theAustralian University Games.“The Uni Games were such a great experience. They were lotsof fun and it was a good opportunity to meet other studentsinterested in sports,” she says.Roberta has adjusted smoothly to life in her newly adopted city ofSydney. What she loves most about Sydney is the chance to liveso close to nature and the bush. She says coming to Australia hasbeen a long term dream, and her parents decided to let her goon the condition she studied while she was away.“I love living in Sydney and going to UNSW. It was hard at firstbut my best friend has helped me to settle into my new life inAustralia and now I feel at home,” she says. So much so, she’salready planning to go onto a Master degree in InternationalRelations, and possibly even a PhD, to better prepare herself forher campaign against poverty in Brazil.
