'It had been a few years since leaving school, and I wanted a course that offered an easier transition back to studying. Everything in the Diploma of Engineering is transferable to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), which saves time later. I really enjoyed the small classes, and the tutors were very easy to reach, while group assignments allowed closer working with my peers. This personal learning experience gave me a great foundation for the Bachelor of Engineering course.'
