Singapore, 25 February 2003
The Australian government invests billions of dollars each year in developing Australian education and in university research. Australian institutions have an international focus within their courses and activities. They exchange staff with institutions overseas, participate in international forums, and have partnerships and joint projects with overseas institutions and international research centres. Australia's universities have made important breakthroughs in modern technology and science while Australia's vocational training system, which is based on industry standards, is used as a model for other Asia-Pacific countries. There are universities in all major Australian cities and throughout regional areas of the country ranging in size from around 3,000 students to 50,000 students. About 20 percent of students enrolled in Australian universities are from overseas. One of these established universities includes Curtin University of Technology where Curtin Business School is based. Curtin Business School (CBS) is one of the largest business schools in the region. With resources worldwide and a strong team of staff from international academic and professional backgrounds, the School is able to offer programs at the cutting edge of business education. CBS offers the most comprehensive range of postgraduate business programs in Western Australia. Over 1,500 students are enrolled in the 70 postgraduate courses offered at CBS's Perth campuses. PurpleTrain.com, in partnership with Curtin University of Technology offers a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programme through e-Learning for school leavers and mature age students who are seeking a broad based degree which offers many opportunities for their future career paths. Recognition and achievements
To find out more about the Curtin BBA programme, please visit this link http://www.purpletrain.com/hi_edu/curtin_bba.htm If you are concerned about the qualifications awarded, don't be! The Government also ensures the quality of Australian institutions and courses in a number of ways. Institutions must be accredited and courses offered to international students must be approved and listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Qualifications offered to students must fit the Australian Qualifications Framework. National agencies, including the Australian University Quality Agency and the Australian National Training Authority, monitor Australian education institutions including their teaching, learning, administration and research. Australian institutions develop the creative, analytical and lateral thinking skills of students, and encourage individuality. The Australian education system also encourages responsibility and maturity in students. Students take an active part in their own education and are expected to supplement classroom studies with independent study in libraries, at home and in teams with other students. To top it off, the staff at PurpleTrain are also very
experienced in helping students from other countries, and there are well-established
support systems in place for international students. Rest assured that
you are in good hands!
