Diploma in University Studies
Christian Garcia might be
studying remotely at home in
Mexico, but he has his future
sights firmly set on a career in
New Zealand.
Studying towards a Bachelor of
Science with a Major in Biology
as well as Conservation and
Ecology, he would “love to be
able to work in New Zealand
after finishing my degree either
studying the fauna or working in
a lab focusing on biochemistry
and/or genetics.”
He started his study at Lincoln
through the Certificate in
University Studies (CUS) online,
excelled and then moved quickly
onto the Diploma of University
Studies (DUS). Christian said
learning online was a challenging
“but very fun and rewarding
experience”.
“The course was very well
organised, the tutors were
remarkably thorough and they
had an excellent disposition
towards answering any inquiries.
He chose Lincoln University
mainly because it was
recommended to him “as one of
the best universities for studying
conservation and ecology” and
because of its focus on field and
laboratory research.
“Another thing that caught my
eye was that I was told it has
one of the highest employment
rates after graduation, as well as
plentiful opportunities to start
engaging in summertime jobs
related to my field.”
