In February, 17 delegates, including Vice Chancellors, Presidents and senior executives from 9 South Asian universities, visited Melbourne. The delegates spent 2 days meeting with Victorian universities.

Study Melbourne worked with Austrade to facilitate a valuable program for the delegation. They were hosted at the Study Melbourne Hub in Hardware Lane on Friday 28 February. This included a roundtable on what makes for ideal partnerships, along with presentations from 4 Victorian education providers.

The delegates were very impressed with the support services and programs the Victorian Government provides to international students. The universities are looking to form, and further develop, partnerships and collaboration opportunities with our world leading education providers.
