ABOUT TORRENS UNIVERSITY LANGUAGE CENTRE (TULC) Torrens University Language Centre (TULC) is the English language course provider for all Laureate International Universities in Australia, including the following institutions. STUDENT SUCCESS I still clearly remember my first days, when I started my English course. I remember the challenges of understanding my teachers, of making my first presentation in English and writing my first assignment. My teachers were so supportive and professional, they enabled me to improve my English skills so quickly and effectively, I was able to start my Advanced Diploma with confidence. This allowed me to communicate with the other Australian and overseas students easily, make good friends, and I could follow the lectures and workshops closely too. As for Sydney, well, I completely fell in love with the beautiful city. I still miss the beautiful beaches, clean environment and lovely climate.

This protects Australia s reputation for delivering quality education services and the interests of overseas students, by setting minimum standards and providing tuition and financial assurance. The legislation mandates a nationally consistent approach to registering education providers so that the quality of the tuition, and care of students, remains high. The professionalism and integrity of the industry is further strengthened by the ESOS legislations interface with immigration law. This imposes visa related reporting requirements on both students and providers.
