QUT International College

MAJED ALASLANI Saudi Arabia General English and EAP Plus graduate Master of Mathematical Science
One of the reasons I chose to study at QUT was because of the Universitys central location. The excellent services and facilities of the International College including the 24-hour computer labs, the dedicated welfare and the language and learning advisors helped me achieve great results in my Master of Mathematical Science. The staff and lecturers at QUT provided a supportive study environment and the Universitys Muslim prayer facilities helped me to adjust to life in Brisbane.
