I would say that QUT College provides the best pathway to university. Most international students are not familiar with Australian academic requirements as they come from different learning environments back home. The diploma pathway provided me with that extra support in my studies in terms of gaining knowledge, understanding and guidance. It has helped me to settle in well and excel in my studies at QUT.
