Student Stories

"My highlight program is AP course at ILSC. AP program helped me improving all English skills, writing, listening, reading and speaking. I don’t have experience here. So I have difficulty to decide college. After consulting, I chose my college because they are expert about college. They gave so many useful information and support to me. Not doing IELTS and choosing pathway program helps many student doesn’t have to feel pressure."

"All you need to do is follow your teacher’s steps. Then you will be fine. Most important is that they help me how to do my job in university or college. I am not only learning like listening, speaking, I can also learn how to do the research essay including doing the references in the right way, APA or other types."

Student Stories

"The University Pathway Program was really important for me especially to develop some skills in this academic field so it is really easy for me to write my essays, my reports and I feel more comfortable talking with my professors and my classmates. The number of partners that ILSC have, it is good because we can have a variety of choice with good institutions. I have many good memories from ILSC."
