Profile: Amna Karim

After starting a business to sell her handmade lamps, Amna Karim discovered a passion for marketing. Then she found the perfect degree program to complement both her commerce skills and her creative side.

“I spent a few years working in my family's mining company after my bachelors degree, but I soon realised it was not something I wanted to do long-term,” says Amna. “So I started my own business, where I make handmade lamps from household waste like CDs, newspapers and cotton.”

After she started selling her lamps online, Amna became exposed to digital marketing and content creation. She knew she’d found her niche. Wanting a new environment and an international perspective, Amna decided to pursue further studies in Australia. At the University of Melbourne, she found a graduate program that spoke to both her business acumen and her creativity.

“The Master of Marketing Communications program combines the Business and Arts faculties, which for me was a win-win situation,” she says. “Alongside core business subjects, I was also able to take arts electives, such as audio-visual communications.”

It was the perfect blend for Amna: “I absolutely cherished every step of this course, as every day was a new learning experience.”
