“The support I received from CPU during the preparation stage was invaluable; their help in ensuring I had all the necessary documents, and their understanding of my needs made it significantly easier to meet my requirements.”

“Being a work student in CPU really helped me in opening job opportunities when I migrated to Australia. I worked in the laboratories. During interviews, my experience working in CPU really helped me a lot. As a work student here, it really shaped my character and attitude toward work, including team building and relationships.”
HUMSS 11-2 student from the Department of Senior High School
“... I was scared of the ‘what ifs,’ scared of my possible failure, and scared of the future. But I realized that as humans, it is in our nature to be afraid. To jump in the water without looking isn’t careless, it’s trusting in your ability to rise. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to act in spite of it.”
