Partnership
between TimesPro and Monash College invites
applications from students who wish to study business in Australia
The number
of Indian students studying abroad is increasing rapidly, and a nearly 50%
surge in the past decade is proof of the pudding. As per UNESCO data, by August 2017, over 3, 00,000 Indian students were studying
abroad. The reasons for an Indian teen to pursue higher studies abroad are
myriad. International universities offer a vast variety of courses and better
quality of education. That apart, the independent thought process that a
student imbibes by way of global education is one that also enables youth to
explore more opportunities. The prestige a family feels while their ward is
studying and staying abroad, is of course, additional motivation.
What is
students' choice?
As per
government of India data, while the
study-abroad options for Indian students may be as many as 86 countries,
the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada are
the most popular choices. Of the total number of students abroad in 2017, a
whopping 69.5% chose the aforementioned countries as their destination for
higher studies. Even though traditionally the USA leads
the charts with just over 1 lakh Indian students, Australia has
been emerging as the recent favourite. As of August
2018, Australiahouses over 68,000
Indian students, up 16.8% from 2017, says data released by the Australian High
Commission in India. Both countries believe
education to be a flagship sector as part of their bilateral relationship, and
are doing everything they can to encourage exchange.
Why Australia?
Australian
universities have an impressive international reputation. The environment is
safe, and immigration policies favourable. Australia offers
world class standards of living with considerably lower expenditure than
the USA and the UK. Up for grabs are
attractive work opportunities to students, which can offset living costs to a
bare minimum. Equal opportunities are ensured for students who have graduated
out of a specific course, from any university in the country. The biggest
advantage however, is the work rights - Australia allows
students a work visa for two years post study. A student can completely recover
the expenses incurred during the study period in these two years.
Study options in Australia
Australian
universities are actively working on increasing awareness among Indian
students. Education institutes in India such
as TimesPro, in conjunction with varsities such as Monash and Queenslandamong others, are offering pathway programs
to make global education not only more accessible, but also less expensive. A
pathway is a learning experience that provides international students lateral
entry to various undergraduate or graduate programs at universities, by
offering them an academic foundation and essential language skills. Pathway
programs enable Indian students to join international courses on Indian shores
and then continue their degree abroad at a later stage. This is especially
beneficial for students who, after graduating school, may have missed admission
into the international universities of their choice but do not want to have
gaps in their education.
One such
program is the Monash College International Pathway Program (MCIP) by TimesPro,
conducted over eight months in India,
specifically designed for students who wish to study business or commerce
undergraduate degrees at Monash University. With MCIP, one won't just learn
theories and trends, but also develop a more creative and confident mind-set
with hands-on training and practical exposure. After successful completion of
the program and meeting entry requirements, one will have guaranteed* entry
into second year at Monash University.

A global
education inculcates a sense of global citizenship. The 'Land of Oz' a not just
a brilliant option for education for young boys and girls, but is also a
beautiful country with a unique culture, waiting to be embraced.
