Pathway to a QUT degree

'I took the General English program at QUT College before starting my IT course, and I highly recommend this to all international students. These classes helped me adapt to the QUT campus in advance and meet wonderful friends. During the course, I created many cherished memories, which gave me the enthusiasm and confidence to begin my IT studies.'
