Australians Fly In For Education Exhibitions
By Ignatius Stephen

Bandar Seri Begawan - Representatives from ten leading Australian Universities and Colleges fly in to Brunei today to attend IDP's Education Exhibitions to be held in Seria on Sunday and in Gadong on Monday.

Similar exhibitions due to be held in Singapore and Malaysia have had to be cancelled due to the Sars outbreak. The Australian Government have issued warnings to the affected countries.

However, their travel to Brunei has been approved because of Brunei's excellent preventative measures against Sars which has ensured Brunei is considered a safe destination.

Direct flights from Australia to Brunei by Royal Brunei Airlines have also been a positive factor as it means the representatives don't have to transit elsewhere.

Representatives from leading Australian universities such as Bond, Southern Queensland, La Trobe, Victoria, Newcastle, South Australia and Canberra College will be at the exhibitions to offer advice on the degree courses available as well as to answer any questions students may have about studying in Australia generally.

For students wanting to pursue their career through skills training, representatives from institutes and colleges specialising in vocational courses will also be on hand to answer questions and offer guidance on which program to choose.

Distance learning courses are also available for some programs and are especially useful for those in employment who wish to gain further qualifications such as an MBA.

The Education Exhibitions will be held in Seria tomorrow (Sunday) May 18 at the Oil & Gas Discovery Centre (OODC) from 1pm - 5pm and on Monday May 19 at Seameo Voctech, Jalan Pasar Baharu, Gadong from 2pm - 7pm.

Admission Is FREE and IDP look forward to welcoming students and their parents to the exhibitions.
