"Studying the Certificate IV at MIBT was an excellent experience for me not only because it was a pathway into Deakin but because it prepared me for university life. The education system is very different to what I was used to and MIBT helped me adjust to this. It is amazing to see students from all over the world and see how supportive MIBT, Australia is towards cultural diversity. I worked hard and gained a place into Nursing at Deakin University, which has the most prestigious Nursing school in Australia I thank the teachers, staff and students at MIBT for helping me throughout this journey to Deakin."
