Today, Jacob is an MIBT Scholarship winner with an average of 91% from this first trimester, and is working towards studying for a double degree in Commerce and Law at Deakin. Jacobs says, “it feels great to actually get recognised and rewarded for my hard work, especially when I was so unsure if I was capable of further studies.” February 2014 Biomedical Science at Burwood MIBT’s Diploma of Health Sciences students will now be able to transfer into the second year of the Bachelor of Biomedical Science with the addition of the unit SLE115. This now gives students the option to study this course at the Burwood campus.

Students can choose to pay for part or full of the MIBT tuition fee through FEEHELP. For more information visit: www.goingtouni.gov.au Did you know?

Engineering Maths Prerequisite MIBT continues to offer two Foundation Year Advanced Mathematics units to Diploma of Engineering students who do not have the Maths prerequisite for direct entry to Engineering at Deakin University. The first attempt in these units are free for eligible students, but repeating the units will incur a cost as these two units are a pre-requisite to progression and successful completion of the Diploma of Engineering. Prerequisite MIBT Study Skills Support MIBT offers students free study skills support through a range of services. Free study skills workshops are held at MIBT throughout each trimester. Workshops topics include: time management; referencing; avoiding plagiarism; academic essay writing; and exam preparation and strategies. For immediate assistance with specific study skills such as referencing, essay structure, time management and exam preparation, students can visit the Study Skills Support Drop-in Centre without an appointment.
