I am the mother of Ko Chan Myat Thu (Harry) and Ko Phyo Myat Thu (William), who received scholarships to the University of Sheffield, a top-tier Russell Group university in the UK, through GUSTO College.
I first learned about GUSTO College through a newspaper advertisement and called to inquire. GUSTO College is a university that focuses on academic excellence and ensures students achieve success in the real world. The founder himself is a scholar, which is why I chose to enroll both of my sons at GUSTO College.
Thanks to the proper guidance and teaching of the instructors, my sons became more interested in their subjects. They developed a stronger passion and worked very hard. After completing the Foundation Programme, they became quite proficient in IT. They also won awards and gained more confidence in themselves.
While observing the projects they worked on throughout their studies, I was truly impressed. I couldn’t believe they were capable of doing such advanced work. Even before graduating, they were able to take on outsource projects from both local and international clients. As a mother, I felt immense satisfaction. Currently, they are pursuing their Master’s in the UK, and thanks to the strong foundation they received at GUSTO College, they are doing very well.
After completing the Foundation to Bachelor’s programme at GUSTO College, they earned a BSc (Hons) in Computer Systems Engineering, directly awarded by the University of Sunderland.
For their Master’s, they received offers from UTS in Australia, including the highest scholarship of up to 30% for Myanmar students. They also received scholarships from many Russell Group universities in the UK. Ultimately, they chose the University of Sheffield, a member of the Russell Group. The scholarships they received amounted to approximately 300 lakh MMK per person, saving us over 600 lakh MMK for both.
I am extremely proud and happy that they are able to pursue their dreams. In our family, education comes first. We wanted our two sons to study abroad, and GUSTO College helped fulfill this dream for our family. Words cannot express how grateful I am.
The expertise and guidance of the instructors sparked my sons’ interest, and they were able to learn actively. When applying for their Master’s, GUSTO College provided all the necessary documents and support. I am deeply grateful to the founder, instructors, and staff at GUSTO College.
For those interested in pursuing IT & Modern Business, which is currently in high demand globally, or for students who aspire to become successful entrepreneurs, innovators, and professionals in the future, I highly recommend enrolling at GUSTO College now.
Since 2014, GUSTO College students have consistently won the Gold Medallion Award awarded by Pearson, UK. This achievement stands as clear evidence of the high-quality education provided by GUSTO College.

As a result, GUSTO College students have been able to continue their studies at both local and international universities, including those in the UK, with scholarships.

GUSTO College has always been a place where dreams are nurtured, and for me, it was the turning point in my life. I graduated with a BSc (Hons) Computing (Awarded by the University of Gloucestershire) and now, I’m the founder of Idea Capsule, a thriving digital advertising agency. This journey is a testament to how passion, education, and determination can lead to success.
GUSTO emphasized practical learning, which was a game-changer for me. When I entered the workforce, I felt confident and well-prepared. The real-world experiences I gained during my studies helped me adapt quickly and excel in my first job.
The GUSTO Dream Program was a pivotal moment in my life. It inspired me to dream big and take action. Before starting my own business, I participated in the Myanmar Youth Technopreneurship Development Program, organized by MPT and MCPA, and emerged as a winner. That experience gave me the courage to launch Idea Capsule.
GUSTO College played a huge role in shaping who I am today. The education, the experiences, and the support I received there have been instrumental in my success. I’m grateful for everything I learned and the opportunities I had.
A talented student from GUSTO College, Mr. Myint Myat Soe, achieved a remarkable milestone by being selected for the prestigious International BTEC Student Award 2017.
Out of over 100,000 students from more than 80 countries worldwide, he stood out as a symbol of excellence and dedication. This prestigious honor included an invitation to the UK Parliament, where he represented Myanmar with pride.
His achievement not only showcased his hard work and talent but also brought recognition to GUSTO College and the nation on a global stage.
Hi, I’m Shwe Yee Mya Win, a proud alumna of GUSTO College’s UK International Foundation Diploma (Level 3). Today, I’m the co-founder of ChateSat, a freelancer platform that has transformed how people work and connect. My journey from GUSTO to entrepreneurship has been an incredible adventure, and I’d love to share a bit of it with you.
GUSTO College was where I discovered my love for technology and innovation. The UK International Foundation Diploma (Level 3) gave me a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. The hands-on learning approach and the support from my teachers helped me build the confidence to pursue my dreams.
One of the most memorable experiences during my time at GUSTO was participating in the 48-Hour Hackathon hosted by Ooredoo Myanmar. My team and I worked tirelessly to develop a solution to a real-world problem, and winning the competition was a turning point for me. The funding and recognition I received from the hackathon gave me the courage to take my first steps into entrepreneurship.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for my time at GUSTO College. The education, experiences, and support I received there laid the foundation for my success. GUSTO wasn’t just a college for me—it was a place where I discovered my potential and learned to dream big.
