HMS Profiles
April Strickland
"I made the decision to enter the School
of Human Movement Studies based upon
my enthusiasm and passion for health and
fitness. This passion allowed me to obtain
one of my greatest achievements of receiving
class I honours with my degree of Bachelor of
Applied Science (Human Movement Studies –Exercise Science). The comprehensive
course information, knowledgeable lecturers,
and practical experience in the field allowed
me to learn far more quickly than I could have
ever anticipated. UQ’s reputation is world
class and I know my qualifications gained
will be well respected no matter wherever I
may travel. I now work closely helping people
make healthier lifestyle choices through
wellness programs at Brisbane City Council.
My future plans are to come back to UQ to
conduct research and obtain a PhD within the
field of human movement studies."

"Completing my PhD through HMS has been an invaluable experience. My advisors and other academic staff within the School provided excellent support including encouragement to present and publish my work both nationally and internationally. I also had the opportunity to make connections with other researchers within Australia and overseas. The School of HMS offers outstanding facilities for postgraduate students. To complement the academic benefits, the School has a large and friendly postgraduate student group. I would highly recommend the School of HMS as an ideal place for research higher degree students."
