I just enjoy making (things) all the time. It doesn't feel like a "real" job because I'm always having fun!

Meet <strong>Andrea</strong>, UTS Foundation Studies graduate, currently studying a Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical) at UTS.

At UTS College I learned how to write reports and do research, which prepared me for my studies at UTS. Also, UTS College is a lot smaller, more personalised in a way, so it's better for learning.
