Study in Australia on Show at CIEET Guangzhou Leg
In March 2009, over 20 Australian education providers from all over Australia, including some of Australia’s finest universities, vocational colleges, English language colleges and secondary schools, will participate in the Guangzhou leg of the China International Education Exhibition Tour (CIEET) 2009.
The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) and Australian Education International (AEI) have joined forces to coordinate an Australian National Pavilion for the CIEET 2009 Spring Exhibition. This Education Exhibition Tour, which will visit Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, will give the many Chinese students who wish to study abroad the opportunity to look at the extensive range of attractive study options available in Australia.
The Guangzhou leg of the tour will be held at the Hall A, 1/F International Exhibition Centre Dong Fang Hotel from 13:00 – 17:00 on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March 2009. Representatives of Australian education providers will be on hand at the exhibition to discuss options and the benefits of an Australian education with prospective students.
Australia is a favoured destination for students from all over the world seeking a high-quality overseas study experience. Australia is recognized internationally for its high quality, innovative study options. China is now one of the largest sources of overseas students in Australia. Over the calendar year 2008, there were approximately 100,000 Chinese students studying in Australia.
A series of information seminars will be held during the exhibitions covering areas such as course structures, tuition fees, study environment, accommodation, graduate employment opportunities, and visa issues. There will be an opportunity for question and answer sessions after each presentation.
Committed to continued support to the Australian Education Exhibition and Australian educational institutions, CPA Australia, Australia’s largest professional accounting body will be present at the show to offer advice on the selection of CPA Australia’s accredited programs and its member admission policy to students who are interested in pursuing study in finance and accounting in Australia.
