Personal comments

I already had a high knowledge of english before going to Australia but I gained knowledge in specialised business vocabulary and overall in my writing skills. The result is that english is not a foreign language for me anymore, I think in english and mainly could easily work in a english speaking environment!

It was really nice, either as regards the facilities, or the cleanliness. There was the possibility to go to a gym and to a swimming pool; moreover there was the possibility to have different amusements

Overall

Administration and support is disappointing. Course content was out of date and 90% of online modules were pre-recorded lectures from a drone of an academic that has no real-world experience of how to actually apply the principles and theories. When enrolling, I was informed of being able to receive credit transfers and recognised prior learning for almost half of the subjects… none of this was true and instead was enrolled and charged for the subjects without any notice. Nothing more than a money grabbing institution disguised as higher education.

Pros

Simple online platform

Cons

No support, no contact, 50% of students don’t take part in group assignments,

Everything is slightly more expensive, and travelling was an opportunity not to be missed in this country. Besides, urban transports were expensive and "cheap" supermarkets not always accessible
