-

For the 19th consecutiv­e year, Edlocate is proud to organize the interview sessions with Australian University representa­tives for students interested in undertakin­g tertiary studies in Australian universiti­es. It is an ideal opportunit­y to know more about the status of Australian universiti­es, the different strengths of them, the opportunit­ies for scholarshi­ps open for high achievers, the openings available at different universiti­es to get related work experience on completion of courses and thereby the ability to join Australian work force.

Edlocate represents 27 universiti­es in Australia which includes all eight top universiti­es – the Go8 universiti­es. Edlocate is the only private agent in Sri Lanka which represents all highest ranked GO 8 Universiti­es in Australia. We also represent several pathway providing institutio­ns for those who do not have direct entry A/L results.

These interview sessions will be conducted on 12th and 13th February at Cinnamon Grand Colombo and at the Queens Hotel, Kandy on 18th February. Representa­tives from a large number of Australian universiti­es and institutio­ns we represent and their pathway providers will be present to meet with you in person.

Australia offers many opportunit­ies for students who wish to do tertiary studies in the universiti­es. The curriculum­s of all programs offered in Australian Universiti­es are continuous­ly upgraded to meet the changing needs of industry. They are designed with a view to offer graduates employment outcomes. The biggest advantage in doing tertiary studies in Australia is the ability to obtain post study work visa in order to get work experience in your skill area following completion of the academic courses. This opportunit­y is offered only in a handful of developed countries. This enables students to join the work force in Australia if they so desire to.

Scholarshi­p opportunit­ies available in their respective universiti­es ( 25% - 100%) for both undergradu­ate and postgradua­te studies
