Damian Meduri and Graham Fletcher, Australian Ambassador to China
Supported by a rich educational experience
Upon graduating high school, Damian began an undergraduate degree in international studies, where he went on exchange to Shanghai, supported by a Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship. After returning, Damian interned with the Australian Institute of International Affairs which helped launch his career to where it is today, initially securing him a graduate role within the NSW State Government. One year later, he found himself on the China desk.
Wanting to develop his knowledge and skills further, he commenced a Master of International Business (MIB) at the University of Sydney.
“The MIB added theories and frameworks to conceptualise the practice I see every day,” he says. “I work with both domestic exporters and foreign investors, and the MIB helped me to better understand the logic of their business decisions and enable me to give better advice.”
Overall, Damian remembers his experience at the University as being positive, challenging and insightful.
“I enjoyed the support of the teaching staff throughout my experience,” he recounts. “I had a great chance to work with Dr Wei Li on the capstone project for the MIB with a Chinese investor based in Sydney.”
Beyond gaining professional skills, Damian found his time at the University also encouraged personal development. He recalls the robust discussions with lecturer Julian James about ethics and how it relates to his role as a public servant.
