Study Opportunities in Australia on Show in Shenzhen in 2008
During August, 19 Australian education providers from all over Australia, including some of Australia’s finest universities, vocational colleges, English language colleges and secondary schools, will participate in the Australian Education Exhibition in Shenzhen.
The Exhibition is organized by the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) and Australian Education International (AEI) Guangzhou, with assistance by EIC Education Group. The exhibition will be held at the 3/F Grand Ball Room of Shenzhen Shangri-La Hotel from 13:00 – 19:00 on Tuesday 12 August 2008. Representatives of Australian education providers will be on hand at the exhibition to discuss options and the benefits of Australian education with prospective students.
Australia is a favored destination for students from all over the world seeking a high-quality overseas study experience. Australia is recognized internationally for its high quality, innovative study options. China is now one of the largest sources of overseas students in Australia. There were more than 107,000 Chinese students studying in Australia by the end of 2007.
A series of information seminars will be held during the exhibition covering topics such as course structures, tuition fees, study environment, accommodation, graduate employment opportunities and visa issues. There will be an opportunity for question and answer sessions after each presentation.
Continuing their support to the Australian Education Exhibition and Australian educational institutions, Australia’s Westpac Bank will hold a seminar with advice to prospective students on managing fee transfers and other financial matters.
