Message from Ms Kirsten Sayers, Senior Trade & Investment Commissioner, Singapore / ASEAN Investment Commissioner
Australian Trade Commission, Singapore
On behalf of the Australian High Commission and the Australian Trade Commission, I extend a warm welcome to all the visitors and exhibitors attending the Study in Australia Education Fair 2010.
Australia remains one of the most popular destinations for Singaporean students, with its high quality of education and one of the best standards of living in the world. Since 2002, more than 32,000 Singaporeans have enrolled in educational courses ranging from schools to higher education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. There are currently around 9,350 Singaporeans studying in Australia.
Designed to cater to those who would like a quality education in Australia, the Fair aims to present visitors with up to date and accurate information about the different options and opportunities available to Singaporeans on their educational journey in Australia.
At the Fair this year, various education programmes and scholarship opportunities from a wide variety of organisations will be showcased. This event can provide you with an excellent opportunity to:
Australian universities and schools are widely respected in many disciplines and consistently receive high global rankings. To date, the quality of the Australian education system has produced many high-profile individuals on the world stage, including Nobel Laureates and politicians in Singapore.
Besides the quality of education in Australia, foreign students are also attracted to Australia because of the diverse cultures and vibrant lifestyle. The Australian government also has a legal framework in place to ensure the quality of life and education for foreign students.
To conclude, I wish you all the best in the pursuit of your education and I hope that your visit to the Study in Australia Education Fair will be beneficial to your journey towards a fruitful academic experience. Thank you. Kirsten Sayers |
