For example, Kim Nak Kyun hadn't studied science during high school and needed to work on his English as well, so he enrolled in the Foundation Studies Program. Not only did it hone his English, it got him up to speed with the year 12-equivalent science qualification he needed for the Bachelor of Pharmacy, and he went on to become a qualified pharmacist.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
