"It had always been my wish to go to Australia for my tertiary studies. I chose the University of New South Wales because it is a prestigious and international university, offering
world-classeducation. Above all, it has a superior Commerce Faculty,
which was exactly what I was looking for. I enrolled in UNSW Foundation Year as I was convinced that it was the best pathway to UNSW, and it was. At UNSW Foundation Year, I received fundamental knowledge and gained the ability to stand firmly on my own in university. First of all, it helped me adapt to the Australian study environment and offered me the opportunity to improve my English skills. Secondly, the knowledge I gained in Foundation Year gave me a competitive edge throughout my studies. The program is finely integrated with first year Commerce, so there is minimum pain during the transition from Foundation Year to university. Further, it encourages critical thinking, which is essential to successful learning. This is an asset I can build on. All in all, studying in UNSW Foundation Year was a valuable experience. It is definitely the doorstep to a bright future!" Cindy is pictured with Professor Greg Whittred, Dean of Commerce and Economics.
