21INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COURSE GUIDE 2019/2020
My study at UOW College Australia had significant
impact when entering bachelor study at UOW. It
helped me to establish effective study methods,
which were different from what I had previously
learned in China. It helped me to adapt to the
new environment and most importantly, on the
academic language front, ensured my English skills
were up to the University standard.
The most important thing UOW College Australia
taught me was critical thinking. There’s millions
of things to learn, but the most important is the
learning method that could change your whole
life. The critical analysis courses incorporated in the
language study at College are the golden key that
can open the door for academic courses later on.
