An English language pathway to university study
When Minori decided to leave Japan and study abroad, she chose a pathway that began with an intensive English language course.
Minori then took a pathway into university via a SAIBT diploma course.
She says the pathway helped her go from barely speaking English to having the language, writing and communication skills she needed for university success.
