What students say

Students often mention the guidance and support available to international students as a strength, along with a comparatively straightforward admissions process. The Parramatta campus is commonly described as a calmer, more affordable base than inner-Sydney alternatives. Experiences vary noticeably by course, with some reviews noting that certain programs are more demanding than students initially expect.
