Question
I am a student currently studying marine science. When I graduate next year I would like to go to australia fo ra while to get some voluntary work done in the marine industry but am finding it really difficult to know who the right people to contact are. Have tried all the 'gap year' websites and few of them offer good marine placements.
was wondering if you might know who the best people to contact would be?

thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Jenny -

While I do not know specific names of contacts, I could recommend contacting the Universities across Australia.  For example, Griffith University's Gold Coast campus specifically has a Marine Science program, and I am sure someone there would be able to further direct your inquiry.

Cheers,
Patrick
