Meet the Team
Welcome to Universal English College
Universal Education Centre was established in 1988 and students from around the globe have been achieving their English, study, and career dreams at Universal English College ever since.
At Universal English College (UEC), we are passionate about the quality of our students’ experiences and outcomes! This is why UEC has been so widely acknowledged as one of the highest quality English colleges in Australia for the last 30 years.
Every year, students from more than 50 countries choose to study at UEC. They choose UEC because of the exceptional courses, the amazing opportunities they open up, and the college’s community. They also choose UEC because they get direct entry to more than 50 Australian universities and colleges and because of the quality of English and academic skills of UEC graduates achieve.
UEC students also tell us they love UEC because it’s a community. A community of learners striving to achieve their goals. A community of teachers and staff striving to help them get there. We all love what we do and we have fun doing it!
