UNSW Language Program for international students

different-languages

Hello everyone! We hope you are enjoying your mid-semester break so far! As discussed in the previous post, the majority of our international Hong Kong students struggle with language barriers when commencing their studies in Australia. Therefore, in this blog post, the H.M. Team would like to recommend a few services provided by UNSW’s Student Development Centre, in aim of assisting these students to overcome such challenges.

  1. Cultural Café

Hosted fortnightly on Thursdays (as of Week 2), this casual session is the perfect opportunity for international students to celebrate diversity and practice their English, over tea and snacks! Commencing on Week 10 (4th of October), we encourage you all to attend and meet new friends!

When: Thursday (Fortnightly from Week 2)

Time: 2:30pm – 4:00pm

Location: Roundhouse
