Lyttelton Library Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>21 <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY Second time lucky at tertiary study After an unhappy experience studying engineering at university, 23-year-old Kylie Wilson says she was “seriously put off ” tertiary education to the point she never thought she’d go back to study. “I left uni due to the lack of support, intense workload and inability to specialise in the way I thought I could,” says Kylie. Fortunately, friends who’d studied at Ara Institute of Canterbury convinced her that she’d have a completely different experience if she went there. “And they were absolutely right,” she says. “To this day, studying at Ara has been the best decision I’ve made.” Kylie says she’s enjoying everything about being at Ara, where she’s studying two diplomas concurrently – one in quantity surveying and the other in civil engineering. “I love the small class sizes and the ability to really get to know your tutors and learn more from them. The tutors are awesome; they know you by name and are always willing to help, no matter whether you’re struggling or you’re a high achiever who wants to get a more detailed understanding of the content for your own benefit or interests. They’re also happy to discuss their industry experience with you which is invaluable knowledge and something you don’t get from university.” Having not been able to specialise as she’d wanted to at university, Kylie is making the most of her double diploma approach at Ara. “I saw this huge cross-over between the two disciplines of quantity surveying and civil engineering, and the extremely valuable benefits of being both a QS and a Ryan Ara graduate civil engineer.” Kylie has also been impressed with Ara’s supportive learning environment and the ability to study full-time and balance other commitments easily. “It’s given me a wide range of opportunities and experiences, along with a work/life balance.” After a less than ideal university experience, Kylie is quick to encourage others to study at Ara. “Just do it,” she says. “My biggest regret was taking 18 months away from study because I was too scared to go back after my experience at university. Everything at Ara is manageable and practical – in my opinion it’s the polar opposite to university-style learning.” To find out more about Ara’s engineering study options visit ara.ac.nz.
