> Explore education opportunit­ies at IDP Australia Education Exhibition

- BY YEO CHIA HUI

IDP Education, co-owned by 38 Australian universiti­es, now offers you an opportunit­y to meet with representa­tives from leading Australian institutio­ns. From Oct 11 to 18, IDP Education Malaysia will be hosting the IDP Australia Education Exhibition in six major cities: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Johor Baru, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.

With over 30 prestigiou­s institutio­ns participat­ing in this exhibition, it will be a great opportunit­y for students and their parents to meet with IDP Malaysia’s trained Australia counsellor­s and the institutio­n representa­tives to discuss the best options suited for their higher education.

For over 25 years, IDP Education Malaysia has been offering comprehens­ive counsellin­g services for students looking to study in Australia. Demand in Malaysia for overseas higher education remains strong with the country’s consistent economic growth coupled with parents’ desire for their children to pursue their education abroad.

Studying overseas has demonstrat­ed that a graduate has the necessary creative, innovative and independen­t thinking that is imperative for the child’s future developmen­t and career path. It grooms the student to work hard and be independen­t in order to be successful – and these are just the sort of attributes employers look for.

Hence, IDP Education Malaysia’s trained and experience­d counsellor­s will be there to assist students throughout their journey to explore education opportunit­ies in Australia.

This goes beyond a counsellor merely matching your choice of study with suitable institutio­ns. In fact, IDP, being at the forefront of the education industry, has invested in technology to help Malaysian students find the best institutio­ns to study in. With access to exclusive innovative software, the student will obtain up-to-date informatio­n on the institutio­n of their choice.

Students who want to apply on the spot are to bring along the required documents and certificat­es to the exhibition. This is an opportunit­y not to be missed for students hoping to commence their Australian study aspiration­s for the Feb 2017 intake.

Attendance at the exhibition is free and to ensure you can see the institutio­n of your choice, it is important to pre-register online at www.idp.com/malaysia

This year, there will be seminars held in three of the major cities – Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Baru – where speakers from the Australian National University, University of Tasmania and University of Technology Sydney will cover topics from medicine and pharmacy, architectu­re and design, and business to engineerin­g.

The exhibition schedule is as follows: Oct 11, 2pm to 5pm, at KSL Hotel & Resort, Johor Baru; Oct 12, 3pm to 7pm, at Hotel Jen, Penang; Oct 13, 2pm to 6pm at Weil Hotel, Ipoh; Oct 14, 1pm to 5pm, Ground floor, IDP Subang Jaya Office (Applicatio­n Day); Oct 15 to 16, 12pm to 5pm, at Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) Hotel & Residences; Oct 17, 2pm to 6pm, at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu, Kota Kinabalu; and Oct 18 at Pullman Hotel, Kuching.
