Student testimonials

I completed the 20-week BC course at UWA CELT in 2015 and am currently studying the Master of Translation Studies at UWA. It is a really useful and practical course. I acquired skills such as notetaking, paraphrasing, summarising and academic writing. These skills are necessary for your degree course and I would recommend the Bridging Course to any student!

To begin, I would like to say thank you UWA! Because now my dreams are coming true! I would like to say people can pursue the impossible! The Bridging Course helped me to improve not only my English skills, but also my life.

We chose UWA CELT because it belongs to the University of Western Australia so we believe that UWA CELT will provide the best education system. When we started the course, we were very impressed with the teachers and friends, also the way of teaching. Furthermore, we can meet friends from all over the world such as Japan, Brazil, France, Italy, Saudi-Arabia, Colombia and Korea.

Pop and Jan, Thailand

I am currently completing a Master’s degree of Engineering in Oil and Gas by coursework at UWA, and I completed my ten-week Bridging Course through UWA CELT.

By doing the Bridging Course, I learned other required qualities for my current study, for instance, giving a presentation in English, writing an academic essay and conducting research independently. Those qualities are constantly used in my Master’s course.

The greatest challenge for many international students, actually, is not English, but to alter their point of view towards academic study. The Bridging Course offered a tremendous help in adapting to study at UWA.

My reason for studying English at UWA CELT is to give myself more opportunities in the future for a better job. The things that I enjoyed most at UWA CELT would be the classes which were interesting. The workshops and activities were also a lot of fun, especially the original aboriginal art; we also got a chance to practice our conversational English while doing this activity.

My experience on the Bridging Course at the Centre for English Language Teaching (CELT) at the University of Western Australia has been nothing short of outstanding. The facilities and resources provided by CELT are top-notch and the teaching staff are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping students succeed.

Thanks to the scholarship from the Government of the Sultanate of Oman to pursue a Master in Human Resources and Employment Relations at the main campus. I have been impressed by the quality of teaching as the curriculum is comprehensive and challenging, yet the dedicated staff make it an enjoyable learning experience.

The program has not only helped me improve my English language skills but has also provided me with solid foundation with the skills and knowledge to excel in my future study and valuable insights into the culture and values of Western Australia.I am truly grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend CELT program to anyone considering enrolling in a bachelor's or master's degree program to be equipped with the necessary needed skills.

UWA Centre for English Language Teaching (UWA CELT) exceeded my highly set goals and expectations. I started with Language and Communication Essentials and will soon complete the Bridging course, with my English language skills improving significantly. I look forward to commencing the UWA Master in Infectious Diseases course.

The Bridging Course enhanced my academic skills and gave me an understanding of Australian culture. The course has a well-organised curriculum combined with the best teaching methods and is designed to help students going into various academic elds at the University. During my studies, I had a lot of support from friendly and qualified teachers, as well as knowledgeable and experienced student advisors. UWA CELT has equipped me with the English proficiency and skills to commence my PhD in Social Sciences and Cultural Studies at UWA and for my future life.
