Study In Australia expo at Centrepoint Hotel today
By Helena M Mahathir

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Study In Australia exhibition is set to unfold on the seventh floor of the Centrepoint Hotel today.

The exhibition - organised by James Hon Marketing and Management - will see the participation of 12 significant Australian institutions.

Students who have just completed their A' Levels, IBs or IGCSEs are encouraged to attend the event. Postgraduate enquiries are also open to degree and diploma holders considering furthering their studies.

Interested parties will have the opportunity to enquire on the wide range of pre-university, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate courses available. The areas of study include Business, Engineering, Medicine, Bio & Physical, Sciences, Education and Humanities.

La Trobe University in Bundoora Melbourne is one of the 12 participants at the expo. A research conducted recently showed La Trobe ranking in the No 10 spot among other universities in Australia.

Meanwhile, Macquarie University of Sydney, EconomicsLecturer Joseph Macri and Professor Dipendra Sinha ranked the La Trobe University Economics Department as the No 2 in Melbourne, thereby acquiring an overall ranking of No 6.

The two-and-a-half-year study ranked 32 departments teaching Economics in Australia and New Zealand, and is also the first study to make a trans-Tasman comparison in economics.

The Macquarie team believes that rankings could be used by students `as a proxy for university quality,' by academics `to identify the most suitable environment for employment and research' and by government `in their quest to provide valuable research funds to the most productive institutions.'
