Gold Coast student tops the class twice! 

CQU Gold Coast International Campus student Christian Gehoff achieved the highest overall score of any CQU student in 2 courses in term 2, 2006.

Christian achieved the highest result in FINC 20006 Organisational Finance on any CQU campus from over 1000 students, and also achieved the highest result in ACCT20052 Financial Accounting from over 1500 students.

PhotoID:3805 Christian is from Hannover in Germany and is completing a Master of Professional Accounting.

“It is great to combine studies and international experience in such a great environment," Christian says.

Apart from his studies, Christian enjoys playing footy with the boys from the Surfers Paradise Demons Aussie Rules team and of course, going for an early morning surf.

He hopes to find a job in banking or finance, either in Europe or ‘Down Under’.

“Christian is a model student, and has demonstrated through hard work and application that outstanding results are achievable,” said Associate Professor Ken Bruce, Campus Director.

“We are thrilled that Christian has done so well in his first term of study with CQU, and equally pleased he has settled in quickly to campus life at the Gold Coast".
