KUCHING: Members of the public are invited to meet with the representative of University of Melbourne from 10am to 1pm tomorrow at the Market Management Services (MMS) Sdn Bhd office here.
Conveniently located near the heart of Melbourne, the Parkville campus of the university is a hub of student activities.
The university has more than 40 sporting clubs, an active student union and more than 150 student societies to cater to anyone’s passions and interests.
It also offers one of the most comprehensive student support networks in Australia.
Some Generation Y success stories such as the co-founder and chieftain of start-up company StoreHub, Wai Hong, who has been listed among
The Age Melbourne Magazine’s top 100 most influential people graduated from there.
He has also been named as Start-Up Smart’s best young entrepreneur in 2011.
Meanwhile, another success story is Shanghai-based artist-architect Hong Yi who ‘loves to paint, but not with a paintbrush’ and is a popular speaker in international conferences including APEC Young Entrepreneur’s Summit.
Wai Hong and Hong Yi looked into Melbourne as a potential destination to complete their studies after completing their studies in Malaysia.
“While there are many choices of institutions to go to, there are few that offer the same kind of diversity and richness that University of Melbourne has to offer,” Wai Hong said, according to the press release.
Hong Yi was attracted to the university’s top rankings, choosing to study there because it was known to be the best university in Australia.
As international students, both of them enjoyed student life in Melbourne as the multicultural atmosphere on campus is friendly and inspiring and fosters an environment of cooperation and understanding.
The atmosphere also encourages lifelong friendships and future professional networks.
“I loved the campus life and how I got to know students from all over the world. My classmates were brilliant students so this set the standard and got the competitive spirit going which helped me get better at what I do,” Hong Yi said.
