The program was structured in a way that made everything feel more manageable, and the support I received through lectures and tutorials really helped me stay on track.
The lecturer was incredibly passionate and explained complex concepts in a really clear, approachable way.
One of the best parts of the experience was connecting with other students. It was easy to make friends, and I’m still close with a lot of them today.
Overall, I’m extremely grateful I had the chance to complete the bridging course. The program really helped make the transition into university much smoother.
