In a significant achievement, four high-achieving students from the University of South Australia (UniSA) are poised to embark on enriching overseas experiences in 2024. This opportunity comes as a result of their recognition as recipients of the esteemed New Colombo Plan (NCP) Scholarships.

Diverse Destinations and Immersive Experiences

The chosen students will be traveling to countries such as Cambodia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand. This endeavor aligns with the Federal Government’s initiative to enhance Australia’s understanding and connections with the Indo-Pacific region through immersive undergraduate programs. During their time abroad, the students will not only engage in academic pursuits but will also partake in industry internships and language training.

Strengthening Australia Regional Relationships

These UniSA Online students, hailing from locations such as London, Brisbane, and regional Western Australia, will play a pivotal role in deepening Australia’s ties within the region. Their engagement at both individual and university network levels, especially in business and related fields, is expected to contribute significantly.
