Testimonial

"I chose UCW after researching universities that fitted my requirements. These included: location, small classes, teaching support and tuition fees. The small class sizes help for getting feedback over phone or email and which is a huge benefit. The diverse experience and background of the faculty make the studies really interesting and I am inspired by organisational behaviour and accounting professor”. George-Ukraine, Bachelor of Commerce 2019
