UniStart success story
Adilbish Unubileg (from Mongolia)
Diploma of Computing and Information Technology (IT) Studies at Eynesbury College
“I chose to study a foundation program overseas because I didn’t have a clear understanding of how university works and wanted a smoother transition. It also gave me the opportunity to improve my English and become more independent. I chose Eynesbury College for its pathway to the University of Adelaide, supportive environment, and smaller classes, which made learning more interactive and less overwhelming. The transition was smooth, and the support helped me settle in quickly. As an IT student, I initially struggled with some concepts, but by the time I started university, I realised I had a stronger foundation than others who hadn’t taken this pathway. The most valuable skills I gained were time management and self-study, which prepared me well for university.”
