KUCHING: The AUG GO! Australia Education Fair which will be held on May 2 from 1pm to 5pm at The Waterfront Hotel (Plaza Merdeka ) could be the last stop for prospective students who are looking to continue their tertiary education in down under.
Among the university representatives who will be present at the fair are Taylors College, Australian Catholic University (ACU), Deakin University and Deakin College.
A press release from Taylors College says a university foundation programme which guarantees entry to prestigious universities in Australia and New Zealand upon successful completion will be introduced to students at the fair. The programmes have been developed in conjunction with the partner universities themselves, especially for international students.
Students who meet the grades and any additional requirements will receive an offer in the undergraduate course at their affiliate universities and colleges.
For over 90 years Taylors College has been preparing students successfully, and every year almost 100 per cent of its students are offered a tertiary place.
ACU has over 150 years of educational heritage and is a publicly funded Australian institution which offers students high quality and internationally recognised qualifications.
With over 30,000 students, it is one of Australia’s fastest growing and most affordable universities.
With well-established links to hospitals, schools, churches and welfare agencies – nationally and internationally – courses include practical work and community engagement opportunities designed to prepare students for employment and leadership positions across the globe.
ACU is also Australia’s only truly multi-state university with seven campuses in six cities (Brisbane, Strathfield, North Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Ballarat) offering students a choice of study locations, each with its own unique environment and course offerings.
Students in ACU can study Accounting, Business, Marketing, Business Information Systems, IT, Education, Teaching, Science, Exercise/Sport Science, Global Studies, International Development, Human Resource Management, Law, Management (MBA), Nursing, Physiotherapy, Philosophy, Theology, Psychology, Social/Youth Work, Visual Arts And Design.
Representatives from Deakin University and Deakin College will explain industry focused degree programmes that prepare graduates to be ready for the global workplace.
Deakin is ranked in the top two per cent of universities worldwide and is among the top 50 young universities in the world, according to QS and Times Higher Education.
Its degree programmes are many and varied. Be it the Sciences at its innovative nanotechnology facilities or the Arts at one of the world’s largest motion capture labs, Deakin brings together the latest in technology to complement learning. Deakin College provides an avenue for students who do not yet meet the admission requirements for Deakin University programmes.
Deakin has four modern campuses that are deeply connected to their surrounding communities. Each campus offers a unique and stimulating teaching, learning and research environment. Students have access to state-of-the-art learning resources, and an excellent student support network to assist them in every step of their learning journey and beyond.
Deakin offers hundreds of courses across four faculties, 17 schools and a range of research institutes and strategic centers. A variety of courses are offered in numerous disciplines ranging from Science to Arts and Business to Health.
