Prem, Thailand

I used the direct entry pathway to the University of Western Sydney where I am studying for a Masters in International Business (MIB). I recommend Universal English College (GV Sydney) to any student who wishes to prepare for study at a university.

The teachers on the EAP courses are very experienced; their knowledge and skills have helped me to improve my writing abilities in particular. I have also found them to be very kind and friendly. The college has pathways available to many universities, which gives students a range of options. The library is very good, which is an important facility for EAP students.
