University Entry Preparation Program for Business, Accounting and Our Stude nts Economics (BAE)
When I look back at my last year here, there are many points about CME that I like. The most important one is making friends who come from different continents. Also the teachers are quite important to me, they are professionally developed and well experienced, and they work hand in hand not only to improve the student’s ability for major tasks, but also to prepare students for their academic future at university. If I had started university directly, I am sure that my life would have been more stressful. But because I went to CME, I was aware of the system of Macquarie University. Moreover, CME did more than just teach me English, it introduced me to the Australian lifestyle and helped me to cope with living so far away from home.
