On 27 November 2024, Study Melbourne launched the Student Experience Report at the Study Melbourne Hub Kuala Lumpur.

The launch was officially opened by Näila Mazzucco, Commissioner for Victoria to Southeast Asia. Näila took the opportunity to connect with university representatives and education agents. Her presence reinforced the importance of fostering collaboration and maintaining strong ties between Victoria and Malaysia in the education sector.

This insightful report was presented by Guy Perring, Regional Director, Asia from i-Graduate. The discussion highlighted the reasons why students choose Victoria as their preferred study destination.

University representatives, university partners and education agents gained valuable insights into the unique advantages of studying in Victoria – from its world-class education system to its vibrant multicultural environment. The report captured the current student sentiment and preferences in a post COVID-19 pandemic context, meaningfully translating data insights to enhance engagement with prospective students and parents. This includes increased understanding of their key push and pull factors in their perceptions and consumption of higher education.

From the report, we can see that Malaysian students in Victoria are highly satisfied with their overall experience. Factors influencing their experience included:

  • quality of life
  • strong support systems
  • value for money
  • top-notch learning opportunities.

These played a significant role in their positive student journeys and building their future careers in Victoria.

At Study Melbourne, our goal is to equip and guide students as they work toward educational and career success.
