Meet Nykkea, who challenged herself
"What I find pretty attractive about Open Universities Australia is that they have a variety of unis. My Bachelor of Business degree is through Swinburne, but I can pick and choose my electives through other unis.
And I like that, because I get to choose what I really want to study, and build my degree the way I want to."
