'I applied to three universities in Australia to complete my Bachelor of Business degree. However, my English language score was not enough to enter directly to university. I selected to study at QUT as I got offered a great pathway option where I could do a Diploma + Bachelor degree in just three years. In the end, studying at QUT International College with other international students helped me to develop my confidence to speak English. The class sizes in the Diploma program were smaller so I could learn things faster and meet more people. It was also a great program to adjust to the Australian university studies and expectations. I met lots of people at the college and I continue being friends with them now, even if we are not in the same city.' Diana Salcedo, Peru Diploma in Business + Bachelor of Business
