Torrens university

I want to share my experience with Torrens University. They initially gave me an offer letter and Confirmation of Enrollment (COE), but after I had been in the course for a year, they changed the name of the course and added more subjects to my study plan. It really feels like Torrens is using this format to make more money from students. This kind of practice is frustrating and makes it hard for us to plan our studies effectively.

Courses

The degree matched its expectation and was in line with goals set before starting the degree. The most important aspect of the degree was to build the latest skills in my domain and be able to interact with the industry. Both of these were well provided by the university. Would definitely recommend it to others.
