QUT International College

MEGAT ASLAM MalaysiaFoundation program graduate

The foundation program helped me prepare for bachelor degree studies in exercise and human movement.

The friendly lecturers and tutors made the classes very interactive and I found it easy to comprehend all the

information. My English skills have greatly improved and I feel more confident in my study.

I have made many new international and Australian friends from the course and would highly recommend it to

students as a great starting point for your university study.
