If you’re dreaming of a degree but not sure if you have the skills to succeed at university, check out Kyaw’s story.
Arriving in Australia Kyaw planned to study a Certificate II in English and work in security or cleaning. Instead he took his studies much further; after completing his Certificate IV in English and CDU’s Tertiary Enabling Program, he’s now working towards a Bachelor of Commerce.
Also a fulltime carer, the path wasn’t always smooth for Kyaw. Watch his video to hear how you can expand your horizons by taking alternative pathways to study success.
