宅男导航’s reputation for global student exchange has helped attract 62 for 2018, the most of any university in Australia.
Next year, 62 students and fellows will share in $3.845 million from the Australian Government to undertake study, research or professional development, either from 宅男导航 going abroad, or coming from overseas to 宅男导航.
said the high number of successful applications reflected an increasing international interest in 宅男导航 as place to gain a global education.
“Higher education is becoming an increasingly complex and mobile market as students scan top institutions globally looking for quality educational experiences with the flexibility to fit their personal and professional objectives,” Professor H酶j said.
“To have the most applications from a pool of 37 universities is a great outcome for 宅男导航.
“It’s a testament to the quality and reputation of our research and study programs as well as the opportunities available through our international connections.”
Of the 698 recipients, those coming from or going to 宅男导航 equate for nearly nine percent of successful scholars and fellows.
Of the 51 international recipients coming to 宅男导航, 27 are postdoctoral researchers, nine are Australian Masters students, seven are undertaking professional development, five are PhD researchers and three are students researching towards an overseas qualification.
“Visiting scholars and fellows present a wonderful opportunity for 宅男导航 staff and students to study and work alongside their peers from around the world and we welcome them to our incredible campus,” Professor H酶j said.
Many of the 2018 recipients will be visiting from India, Vietnam, Brazil, the United States of America and China.
In addition, 11 recipients from 宅男导航 will share in $353,500 to travel abroad. This includes six PhD researchers, four postdoctoral researchers and one recipient undertaking professional development.
Professor H酶j said international exchange was a valuable advantage in a modern university education.
