ISLAMABAD:
The AEO Australian Education Expo attracted droves of students from twin cities.
The students got updates about admission procedures of 16 universities in Australia, United Kingdom and Malaysia.
Helen Nuttall, who had set up a desk representing the La Trobe University of Melbourne, said the response from the visiting people was quite encouraging.
“Most of the students are seeking information about scholarships, cost of living and fee structure,” she said.
Australian High Commissioner Peter Heyward said, “I am delighted that the AEO Education Expo is providing a platform for prospective students to explore their study options in Australia. Many international students choose Australia for their higher-education studies because of the excellent reputation of Australian educational institutions.”
Muhammad Nadir, who had come from University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, said that he was there to learn more about the programmes options at top Australian universities.
Ahmad Ali, who has just completed his bachelors of engineering from the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), said that he was seeking to study in Australia after hearing good things from some class fellows who went there earlier.
AEO Chief Executive Officer and Resident Director Saad Mehmood said over 300 students visited the event.
