Information and Communication Sciences scholarship holder Gillian Hunt is undertaking a Bachelor of Science majoring in mathematical physics.

"I'm really enjoying the degree because it gives you a lot of room to choose what areas you want to study," says the former Crestwood High School student. "It's great for people who are just out of school and haven't decided what career they want to pursue."
In addition to holding a scholarship Hunt is also a member of Macquarie's Bright Futures society which supports high achieving science students.

"In Bright Futures you get to interact with lots of students from other disciplines in science that you wouldn't normally meet and you're encouraged to get involved in different aspects of uni life."
