Victoria University of Technology (VUT)

Public transport is relatively expensive.

I was able to improve my english in all situations. At the beginning, my vocabulary was very business specific, but during my studies I had to use it in everyday life too and this was very useful.

I am really glad and grateful that I had the possibility to study abroad. I very much enjoyed my stay in Australia and made a lot of new friends. The most important person at VUT was Herta Derrij, the International Coordinator! She was extraordinary helpful and friendly and overall is a very lovely person. A final advice for all other students: Australia is BIG!!!! From Melbourne to Adelaide it takes you ca. 12 hours by bus. Australia is a very VARYING country! In Melbourne for example it is very cold in winter! Overall: Have fun!!!!

Place not to be missed are Brunswick and Lygon Streets, Melbourne offers permanently festivals here and there and they are all worth having a look. The great Ocean Road, Philip Island and Wilsons Promontory are unfortunately further away, but definitely worth seeing.

The Student Villige provided by VUT is not even worth discussion!
