Student Support
Our international student support team can assist you in your transition to a new study environment at Paragon Polytechnic and help you to make the necessary cultural adjustments. Our friendly team is trained to give you all the assistance you need. The first few weeks can be the most difficult time for students in a new and unfamiliar country. We recognize this and offer you a range of student support services. Please contact the team for a confidential discussion.
