The ‘Study Australia Fair’, an annual event to attract Indian students to Australia, will begin in Chandigarh on Monday. Being organised by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), the Australian Government’s agency for international trade promotion and attracting investment, the fair will also be held in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai.
Speaking to The Hindu, Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner of Austrade, Monica Kennedy, said about 25 educational institutions across from the country will participate in the fair.
“The visibility of Australia as an education provider is high at the moment. That is the main difference than last year’s fair. We have 25 educational institutions coming in. Australia provides opportunities for prolonged stay and employment opportunities are also high,” Dr. Kennedy said, adding that Australian universities have improved their rankings in the latest QS rankings. “Australia does really well in employability criteria. We help students in developing skills after the education,” she said.
