University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor and president Mark Scott said on Friday that the university would focus on offering tailored and targeted learning opportunities to Indian students, keeping in mind their job requirements.
In an interview to The Hindu during his week-long visit to India to attend the Australia India Leadership Dialogue, he said Indian students wanted great value for the money and time they invested and saw a clear pathway from the study they were doing to work opportunities. To cater to this need, the university would offer deeper embedding with the industry as part of the programme, particularly for business and engineering students.
He highlighted that Tech Central, an innovation hub being developed near the University of Sydney campus, on the lines of the Silicon Valley in the U.S., would offer greater opportunities to students to work closely with the industry.
