Lyndal Bick is a high achiever. With years of experience in logistics, liaison and operations – both in Australia and internationally – she’s now ready to explore new career options.

Through the Woodside MBA Women’s Scholarship, Lyndal is completing her MBA Full Time Intensive at the UWA Business School .

Currently halfway through her MBA, Lyndal is expanding her knowledge across a range of areas.

“So far, I’ve really learnt a lot of useful practical knowledge such as in accounting, finance and economics. We’ve also been exposed to some great industry leaders who have given us their time and shared some of their experience with us through breakfasts, lectures and other networking events,” Lyndal said.

“I’ve been loving learning and look forward to taking in what the remainder of the year has to offer both academically and experientially, especially with the International Study Tour to Silicon Valley and Stanford University in the USA.

“The Woodside Scholarship has enabled me to maintain my living expenses whilst solely focusing on the MBA program. This financial support has helped me greatly in completing the MBA Full Time Intensive.”

Woodside Senior Vice President People and Global Capability David McLoughlin said the scholarship was aligned with Woodside’s commitment to sustainable improvements in gender diversity.

“The proportion of women in Woodside’s total workforce increased to 28 per cent in 2015, double the current resources industry average of 14 per cent,” David said.

“The Woodside MBA Women’s Scholarship encourages and assists high achieving female candidates to undertake an MBA Full Time program at UWA.”

Woodside has a longstanding relationship with the UWA Business School. In addition to sponsoring the MBA Women’s Scholarship, Woodside supports a Chair in Leadership and Management at the UWA Business School, numerous research projects, sponsors staff completing the MBA Full Time Intensive, and encourages its executives to deliver guest lectures to UWA MBA students.
