The Australian High Commission, in collaboration with Australian Trade and Investment Commission, held its annual Australian Education Information Day yesterday at the Radisson Hotel. The event was attended by more than 400 participants, including students, parents and education counsellors from local schools.

Representatives from nine Australian universities were present during the event. This includes University of New South Wales, James Cook University, Swinburne University of Technology, University of Western Australia, University of Adelaide, Deakin University, Monash University, Curtin University and Griffith University. Representatives from these universitiestravelled to Brunei Darussalam to interact with students and parents regarding the courses offered, campuses and entry requirements.

The event kicked off with seminars delivered by each university on their areas of excellence and what they have to offer students from Brunei. Later that day, there was an exhibition of all universities where students could sit one-on-one with the university representatives to discuss their study preferences.

At the opening of the event, Australian High Commissioner, Her Excellency Nicola Rosenblum, said “Australia is an education powerhouse, with some of the world’s best facilities and educators. Students from all over the globe come to Australia for its world-class education, and I am glad to see the commitment of Australian universities here today, ready to talk about what they have to offer students from Brunei.”

“Australian institutions rank among the world’s best by discipline, particularly in engineering and technology, medicine, environmental science, accounting and finance. I look forward to seeing more students join the alumni of over 10,000 Bruneians who have already studied in Australia,” she added.

Her Excellency acknowledged education agents Blau Education Services, Findlay SdnBhd, HRD Services and AIA Br-Pamela Agency for their support. She also thanked the alumni who gave up their time to attend the event and share their experiences of studying in Australia with others.

For those who missed the event, a number of Australian universities will also be available to talk to students and parents at the Australian booth at the Higher Education Expo at Bridex Hall on 11-12 February 2017.
