Student Profiles
Mi Ryang Kim, South Korea
Bachelor of Health Science (Homeopathy)
My name is Mi Ryang Kim and I am from South Korea. I am currently studying Bachelor of Health Science (Homeopathy) at Endeavour College. My study experience at Endeavour College has been really good, particularly because of the friends I have met and everyone at the college is very kind and supportive to me. I really enjoyed studying at Endeavour, getting to know my lecturers and gaining real-life experience at Endeavour student public clinic. I am happy to have chosen Endeavour college as I get to study with not just international students but with many Australians and the course fees are really reasonable. After I graduate in 2009, I plan to return to South Korea and work with cancer patients and palliative care in a Homeopathic clinic in a hospital.
