'MIBTi is not just an ordinary pathway.'
MIBTi offers a wide range of courses identical to those at MIBT Australia, but they are run here in Jakarta. One of the biggest advantages of studying at MIBTi is that I am now very well-prepared to face university in Australia. The lecturers at MIBTi are very helpful and supportive, and they really encouraged me to understand their subjects and do well on all my assignments, so I now feel ready to make the move to Australia.
In addition to great academic support from lecturers, even on a one-on-one basis, MIBTi also provides very good support and guidance about further studies in Australia. There is a regular information session from Deakin University staff to help us transfer to Deakin.
In addition, MIBTi also has many off-campus activities (events, outings etc) every trimester. These activities include not only students but also lecturers and other staff. This helps to produce a unique team feeling about MIBTi, with everyone on the same side.
Overall, I think MIBT is a great place to learn and an excellent pathway to Australia.

"All my MIBTi lecturers are just great", said Yasmine Wildblood.
Although already working in the TV industry, Yasmine admitted that when she joined MIBTi she actually had only a narrow understanding of her industry and Media and Communications in general. However, things changed quickly. "I learnt a lot about film art, style and film-making in my first trimester at MIBTi and even managed to get a "Highest Achiever Award" for finishing with the top grade in my class," said Yasmine.
Yasmine completed most of her primary and secondary education at Cita Buana School before finishing with home schooling and IGCSEs. She then went directly into the Foundation program at MIBTi. “Education is very important for me and I am very lucky that I can manage my time to enable me to study at MIBTi on a standard track as well as continue my TV work,” said Yasmine. She mentioned that it was only possible for her to balance a hectic shooting schedule with her studies because MIBTi provides the flexibility to study over 8 months or 12 months to complete a program.
After graduating from MIBTi, Yasmine is planning to continue to Deakin University to take a Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communication) majoring in Film Studies and Photography.

'I believe that MIBT Indonesia is a really excellent pathway to study overseas - especially Australia.'
All of the lecturers at MIBTi are very kind and friendly and they are always available to help with any problems. For example, there is an Academic Skills Advisor who provides one-on-one tuition with any English language issues you have.
In addition, the classes are quite small and so it means it is easier to discuss anything with the lecturers during the class. I really enjoying studying at MIBTi!

'I decided to study at MIBT Indonesia (MIBTi) because it offers really great benefits.'
For example, you can study 'fast track' which means that you can finish your diploma program quicker than at most other places. In addition, the classes at MIBTi are quite small so all students can interact with and get special help from all the lecturers very easily. Also, all the lecturers at MIBTi are very helpful and professional.
Therefore, I would recommend that you study at MIBTi - especially if you are looking for a pathway to study in Australia in the future.

'I used to be a student at Don Bosco (SMA) but now I am currently taking the 'Diploma of Commerce' at MIBT Indonesia.'
At MIBTi there is a wide range of courses - for example, you can also take the 'Diploma of Management, or the 'Diploma of Media and Communication', etc. In my opinion MIBTi is a good choice for any student who would like to study in Australia as it provides a direct pathway to Deakin University in Melbourne. I can also say that all the lecturers at MIBTi are highly qualified and they help and encourage all students a lot to understand the materials. They also help all the students to practice and learn English as of course it is the primary language at MIBTi. I really urge you to choose MIBTi as your pathway to university in Australia.

'I really enjoy studying at MIBTi as it has smaller class sizes than at university. This means lecturers can offer a lot of one-on-one tuition to everyone in the class.'
In addition, I have found that the lecturers are always helpful and willing to give advice. In fact, there is a real family feel on the MIBTi campus that is very welcoming for new students.
I was amazed that at MIBTi the 'fast track' option of completing the course means it only takes me 8 months - this is fantastic! I believe MIBTi is the ideal stepping stone if you would like to further your studies in Australia.

'For me, MIBT is the place to be.'
MIBT has been nurturing me well for the past year and I feel the changes are going to help me in the future.

'I have been studying at MIBTi for the past four months. It is an excellent place if you do not wish to go to Australia directly. You can actually study for the first year here in Indonesia and then transfer credit for all subjects studied to Deakin University, Australia.'
It is a great place to study as it has a good study environment with small classes so the lecturers and students can interact with each other easily. Moreover, the lecturers are also friendly and supportive. MIBTi also offers a 'Fast Track' program where you can save four months and actually finish your diploma (equivalent of first year) in eight months.
So if you are looking for an Australian education program in Indonesia, then I highly recommend MIBTi to you.

'I chose to do the Diploma of Commerce as I have a passion for anything that relates to business and administration. Studying at MIBTi gave me an opportunity to interact easily with my classmates and the lecturers. I really enjoyed the small classes and the freedom to be active in class as well as the fact I could complete my course in only eight months.'
MIBTi offers a family and togetherness spirit that blew me away. Everyone is so friendly and in class students are free to disagree with the lecturers and they teach the students how to learn from their mistakes. At MIBTi I was able to start thinking ‘out of the box’ and to start seeing the real world as it really is.
After I graduate I wish to become a Business Administrator and hopefully open my own business.

'I chose MIBTi because it provides a fast way for me to get a Bachelor degree.
I believe that MIBTi has helped me improve my English as well as my study skills,
which will really help me in my future studies.'
MIBTi offers diplomas, such as the Diploma of Commerce and the Diploma of
Media and Communication. I took the Diploma of Commerce and learnt specialized business subjects that lead me to my second year. The lecturers were knowledgeable, very supportive and helpful.

'After completing my SMU 2, I started my study in MIBT Indonesia,
I had to adapt with the new environment because I came from outside Jakarta and I lived in the dorm.'
In my situation, I got good result at my first semester in Foundation and I must not finish my second semester. Now, I am continuing my study in Diploma of Commerce.
I really enjoyed to study in MIBT Indonesia because the teaching method is quite different when I was in the high school.
I think that MIBT Indonesia is a great place for preparing my study before I go to Australia. Thank you MIBT Indonesia.

'MIBT
Indonesia has given me a valuable foundation for my
university studies. It gave me a vision of what and how
marks and grades are assessed in university.'
I have learnt how to solve problems,
work cooperatively in a team and communicate my thoughts
thought essays and reports. Small classes provided me
the opportunities for a better understanding of what was
taught and one-on-one communication with the lectures.
Adding to that, the lectures were very helpful too,
providing clear explanations and assistance for many
problems and questions.
All in all, my eight months at
MIBT Indonesia was a great use and I will never regret a
moment of study there. I personally send my gratitude to
the lectures and staff who have helped me over that time
period...you have set me ready for my next step in uni
life. Thank you so much. |

'MIBT Indonesia is such a great place to study.
The environment is very conducive to study because it has comfortable classrooms with reasonable
numbers of students in each class.'
It clearly gives you the advantage of concentrating in every lecture.
At first in Australia I had a hard time. I faced a totally new environment and new culture,
which made me think to go back to Indonesia. Praise the Lord I have many friends from MIBT Indonesia.
We used to hang out together and support each other, so I could manage until now.
MIBTi alumni in Melbourne have a strong relationship, so we help new students to get to know more about Melbourne and the uni environment.
MIBT Indonesia has made it easier for me to follow the Australian education system.
Finally I finished my Bachelor degree with a good result - and I am now doing my Master degree.
Thank you MIBT Indonesia for showing me the way. |

'Studying at MIBT Indonesia was a good decision because I completed my first
year university studies in Jakarta and continued with my second and third year in Melbourne,
which has saved me a great deal of money and reduced the time needed to ge my degree.'
I started studying at MIBT Indonesia in October 2002.
I found MIBT Indonesia to be a great place to learn.
I found the subject materials offered were very relevant to current business situation.
During my time at MIBT Indonesia, I was also taught
how to study effectively as university student and the
attitude required to get the best out of my studies.
The staff was also very friendly and helpful; they provide so much assistance to overcome the problems
related to my studies. |

'I feel
that MIBT Indonesia has given me the real concept of
Australian education.'
I first knew about MIBT Indonesia
from my brother (Jonathan Lawrence) who was studying at
MIBT Indonesia. He recommended studying at MIBT
Indonesia as it is the sister campus of the one in
Melbourne. The study curriculum and the learning
outcomes have exactly the same high standard as MIBT in
Melbourne.
I think MIBT Indonesia is a great
alternative to start getting an Australian degree.
Overall, it's only about 'saving time and money,' but it
also provided me with a solid base of how the Australian
education system works. |

'Studying at MIBT Indonesia has been a satisfying and fulfilling experience for me! I reckon I have made the right choice to study there. Thanks to MIBT Indonesia, I am now in my final semester at Monash University in Melbourne and looking forward to graduating this semester.'
Looking back to the time when I was 16 years old,
both my parents and elder sister had influenced and encouraged me to study at MIBT Indonesia.
In fact my sister is an alumni of MIBT Indonesia. MIBT Indonesia provides a fast track 8 months Diploma.
Furthermore students are guaranteed entry to 2nd year at Deakin University upon successfully completing the
Diploma courses chosen. Students can still consider other universities for credit transfer.
This of course depend on the student's performance during their time of study in MIBT Indonesia.
Fees as MIBT Indonesia are reasonable, a saving heavily on the living costs, which is definitely a bonus.
MIBT Indonesia has friendly principal, lecturers and staff.
Everyone makes you feel warm and welcome just like one big happy family! They would be glad to assist
you with any problems that you may have. All of the lecturers at MIBT Indonesia are expatriates,
and they encourage us to speak English while on campus. This gives students a good opportunity to
kick-start their English skills before going to Australia to study. The class sizes are just the right size
to create a comfortable learning environment. Additionally, you will have made friends that will graduate
together with you from MIBT Indonesia and continue their studies at Australia.
Students will not feel to homesick or lonely leaving their family for the first time,
knowing that they would have friends and familiar faces to turn to for support in foreign place. |
