I got to know about this college from an education agent and after that did a bit of research. I applied for it with no application fee. I chose this college because I like the location and tuition is fairly reasonable. my undergraduate background is the law which is kind of related to what I am studying right now. I was asked for a bridging course anyway.
Exams
I took IELTS for entering this program, which asked for an overall 6.5 with each section no less than 6. I provided my undergraduate credits as well. after that, I was asked to take a bridging course as they stated I haven't had any subject related study before. I ended up writing a letter to the college indicating that I can skip the pre-course.
Placement
My course is actually including two sessions of placement for us, which is 500 hrs each. We have to complete it to graduate. I just started my first placement which is going well now and I do know that they kind of having job-related workshops on-campus all the time.
Internship
Unfortunately, my placement is unpaid, which requires us to work 500 hours each. But I do find the placement quite practical to get myself ready for future job environment. one great thing about it is we have a supervisor with us all the time, which is perfect for us to learn.
Fees
The tuition fee is paid each semester, which is not cheap for international students. as far as I know, it is 3 times the fee of local students. I know some scholarships can support international students with financial struggles at some points, however, I just feel I'm not qualified to apply.
Hostel
I rent a room in a shared house, which I found is cheaper than a student hostel. However, the rent is still not easy to cover especially in my area, living cost is just high. That's also why I have to work part-time to cover my expenses.
