Competition to experience studying in Adelaide

A COMPETITION for Malaysian students wanting to further their studies in Australia has been launched across Southeast Asia.

The Brand Ambassador competition organised by StudyAdelaide,

a South Australian Government organisation that markets Adelaide as an international study destination, and supports international students in Adelaide.

The competition is open to students over the age of 16 who are planning to pursue their studies in

Adelaide by March 2020. Students planning to study in high schools, pre-university and university can apply.

Fifteen lucky winners will receive an exclusive prize package when they start their studies in Adelaide, receiving a range of prizes valued up to A$5,000 (RM14,550) each.

“We want to give Malaysian students the opportunity to experience all that studying and living in Adelaide has to offer,” says

Study Adelaide CEO Karyn Kent on the competition.

Adelaide is ranked one of the top 10 most liveable cities in the world. Adelaide’s cost of living is up to 14% lower than all other major Australian cities, which means students can enjoy more of the wonderful lifestyle Adelaide has to offer.

Adelaide has an established Malaysian community, with several social clubs and groups that organise a range of events and activities promoting Malaysian culture to locals. In 2018, Adelaide welcomed over 1,500 Malaysian students to the city.

Earlier this year, the Australian Government announced a new regional visa allowing higher education graduates who studied and resided in Adelaide for their first post study work visa to be eligible for an extra year of the visa, giving graduates a minimum three year temporary work visa.

Prizes include a contribution towards airfares, access to a variety of festivals and events in Adelaide, professional development by an industry expert, tourism experiences and a cash prize.

In exchange, the Brand Ambassadors are asked to share their Adelaide experience with friends, family and fellow students via their social media channels.
