What our students say

”The MUFY course overall developed my ability to do research and problem - solving especially in the English classes. Moreover, it helped me a lot to learn about the Australian culture since I could discover and discuss many things about Australia with teachers.”

”I made a lot of friends from other countries which help me to understand and appreciate the differences. This is important at university where I need to interact, communicate and work in teams with lots of people from different cultural backgrounds.”

“The experience of having lots of friends from different countries is the best aspect of MUFY. It taught me communication skills. University life is very new to me and having lots of friends from MUFY makes me feel comfortable at university. We support and help in each other in facing university which makes learning much easier.”

“The lecturer's were very approachable and outstanding whenever we needed to consult them. The content and volume of work was appropriate and allowed for extra - curricular activities.”

“We were given the choice to select subjects based on our own interest and a class timetable to suit own convenience. It gave us flexibility and an idea of what university life is like. Being able to choose classes, instead of sticking to one same class all the time also gave us an opportunity to get to know more people to interact and socialize with.”

“It prepared me for the course I'm taking now. It gave me an overview about how our first year would be like, i.e online tasks to be completed, doing referencing on our assignments, having mid-examinations. The experience made us adapt to the life in university easily, as compared to other students not from MUFY.”
