Christian Garcia might be

New Zealand.
Studying towards a Bachelor of
Science with a Major in Biology
as well as Conservation and
Ecology, he would “love to beable to work in New Zealandafter finishing my degree either
studying the fauna or working ina 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 saidlearning online was a challenging“but very fun and rewarding
experience”.
“The course was very wellorganised, the tutors wereremarkably thorough and they
had an excellent disposition
towards answering any inquiries.
He chose Lincoln University
mainly because it wasrecommended to him “as one of
the best universities for studying
conservation and ecology” andbecause of its focus on field andlaboratory research.
“Another thing that caught myeye was that I was told it has
one of the highest employment
rates after graduation, as well as
plentiful opportunities to startengaging in summertime jobs
related to my field.”
