"I chose to study at Taylors College Perth because it was well known for its academic outcomes and I felt it was the best pathway for me to study Medicine at UWA.

I enjoyed studying here at the campus,not only do I get to meet students from around the world, the facilities here are really great and I definitely know that the teachers are up for the challenge in preparing us all for university. I think the teachers here are all very professional and each are very knowledgeable and skilled in their own disciplines."

From India

"One year ago, I was moving away from home for the first time, to a country which spoke a foreign, unfamiliar language. For me, the first three weeks in Perth were filled with a homesickness I had never felt in my eight years outside India.

However, that very loneliness and trepidation was a uniting force for me and my friends. Within weeks it was clear that we all shared the same anxiety and stress of starting a new life. Although I will not say that academically things in Taylors College got easier, the very challenge this institution posed on us was a welcome one. Up until then, I had been used to a setting where teachers assisted us in every way they could with our assignments and study. Coming to Taylors College was in that sense, a ‘culture shock’. Suddenly, it was up to me to hand in my assignments. If I didn’t understand something, I had to find out from my teachers in the tutorial sessions.

My one year at Taylors College taught me a lot from learning how to read bus timetables to writing a good research report. The truly international setting offered in this institution has widened my horizons, making me a more socially aware citizen of the world."

From Malaysia

"Studying at Taylors prepared me for university life as it was like an intermediate level in the transition from high school to university style education. Coming from an Asian country, rote-learning was the way to go. However, my experience in Taylors has taught me that critical thinking and other soft skills are more important in higher levels of education. Thus, making me more prepared for my studies in UWA especially in the Engineering course where critical thinking skills are essential."
