As a new student, you will be welcomed with an orientation program during your first week at Ozford. The orientation program involves familiarisation with living and studying in Melbourne and Ozford, and an opportunity for social interaction with new and current students.
Ozford staff will provide you with academic and additional support throughout your time with us, doing everything possible to help you excel and maximize your potential. This is particulary important for international students in helping them to adjust to studying in Australia.
