Student testimonials

 

Joel Addison
“The ESP was very useful, it allowed me to experience the type of assessment involved in a university course. I also enjoyed getting to know how the university worked, which meant I felt more ready to start university after I finished school.”

“Participating in the ESP meant, not only did I become good at managing my time effectively, but I was able to go to the campus and experience everything as a normal UQ student, like UQ Athletics and the libraries.”

Josephine Jones
The ESP was a great way to be introduced to German classes at UQ without interfering with my year 12 commitments. It helped me make the decision to continue German when I started at UQ and made the transition to university life easier.”

Joel Addison
“'One of the greatest benefits of ESP, was being able to meet and interact with many people who had similar interests as me. Academically, I learnt many skills that also enhanced my year 12 studies, whilst socially; I was able to participate in a range of activities that weren't readily available at my high school. Most importantly, ESP gave me a chance to learn about the structure of UQ, making my first semester at uni stress free!”
