Derek LAU, MUFY Graduate
"I studied the Monash University Foundation Year program (MUFY) at Taylors followed by a Bachelor of Marketing at Monash University. I finished my degree in late 2002.
MUFY was a very good course to prepare me for university. The teachers at Taylors helped me quickly adapt to the new life. They would not speak too fast in class, and this helped a lot of overseas students gain confidence in speaking English.
I am now working as a Senior Financial Advisor at AIA Hong Kong. I manage a team of 11 people, advising clients how to manage their assets in investment and risk management. My experience in Taylors and Monash made me quickly adapt to meeting many different people in business."
Yin (Shining) ZHANG, VCE Dux, 2008
"My two years at Taylors were amazing. I started in Year 11 with wonderful teachers, and the school supported me to achieve my goal to study Commerce at the University of Melbourne. We also had fun activities such as concerts, the dinner dance and the knitting club.
Taylors College has helped me take the first steps towards my future, and I will never forget my experience there."

"I chose Taylors College because my older brothers had studied at Taylors before me and they loved it. Now that I've graduated, I'm glad that I made the correct decision.
I'll be doing a double degree of Biomedical Scence/Electical Engineering at Monash University. After I graduate, I'm sure that I'll be able to find an interesting and challenging job as a Biomedical Engineer.
I would strongly recommend Taylors College to any prospective students. My advice is, enjoy your time at Taylors to the fullest! I know I did. :)"
Ahmad Syahir Mohd Soffi - Dux, MUFY 2006
"I wanted to study medicine at Monash, and Taylors, with MUFY, allowed me the best way to get there.
One of the many things I loved about Taylors was the teachers. Always helpful and ready to cater to your special needs, they never turn down queries.
Taylors also equipped me with useful tools for university: skills in self-studying, researching, referencing, teamwork, confidence and responsibility - all of which are important in my new role as a medical student.
My year at Taylors has been the single best year of my life, and I bet it would be for other students too!"
ZHONG, Yan, VCE Dux 2005
"As an international student, I found that Taylors College is the best place for people like me.
When I was first in Melbourne,everything was strange for me. Fortunately the teachers and coordinators at Taylors College have a lot of experience in taking care of international students. I'm so grateful for that! My success was due not only to my own effort, but the efforts of all Taylors staff. With their help, I was able to get into Melbourne University to achieve my dream."
SIA, Kee Kai, VCE Dux 2005
"It was a wise decision for me to study at Taylors College. I experienced a different kind of education than I ever had before.
The teachers knew exactly the best way to improve my performance in VCE. Small group learning really works. They also encouraged me to speak English frequently. Our Careers Advisers invited many wonderful people to give us useful seminars about our future careers.
At Taylors, gaining a good result is not the only aim of the teachers – they are also focused on helping us choose the best course for success in the future"
WONG, Wai Leung Ricko - Dux, MUFY Jan 2005
"It is my great honour to be the MUFY Dux 2005 but it was not only my personal effort.
Taylors College provided me with a lot of support through the MUFY coordinator, subject teachers,my Mentor, the IT and pastoral staff. I was given a lot of valuable advice and assistance, especially when I encountered obstacles in my study. I enjoyed the small group tutorials which prepared me well for tests and exams.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the professional and committed staff at Taylors College."
