Mumbai: Oxford International Education Group (OIEG), a global education provider dedicated to creating life-enhancing experiences for students worldwide, and The University of Notre Dame Australia, the leading university in Australia for overall graduate employment[1] with a reputation for providing an outstanding student experience, have partnered to establish a world-class overseas recruitment operation to enhance opportunities for international students to get to Notre Dame University, as well as internationalise the learning environment in the context of different expectations and needs international students have. As Australia is fast emerging as a preferred education destination, this development holds great importance for Indian students aspiring to pursue their dreams abroad.
OIEG’s global team will support the recruitment and integration of students at campuses in Fremantle, WA and Sydney, NSW through the deployment of 250 specialist staff in 50 locations worldwide that access a global recruitment platform, including over 2,500 recruitment agents. This will be supplemented by joint measures to ensure the integration and subsequent success of students through the creation of a global learning environment and tailored educational services.
Indian students are preferring Australia because of the high-quality education offered with 9 Australian universities out of 41 in the top 100 (QS World University Rankings). The University of Notre Dame Australia has more than 11,000 enrolled students, is recognised for its modern approach to teaching and is ranked as the number one higher education provider in Perth and Sydney for student support.[2] Internationalization of its unique focus on teaching quality and employability, will make these benefits available to students globally.
In India, Oxford International Education Services (OIES), a division of OIEG, helps University partners scale and diversify in student acquisition, with over 50,000 successful admissions to-date. OIES connects students with the pathway, vocation, language and direct degree opportunities while at the same time helping University partners strengthen, scale and diversify international student recruitment. It ensures better student quality through rigorous vetting and compliance processes. As an education provider, OIES are focused on student success and believe in learning regardless of borders and backgrounds, unlocking opportunities for both students and educational partners.
Professor Michelle Campbell, Deputy Vice Chancellor International and Partnerships, The University of Notre Dame Australia said “We are delighted to enter into this new partnership. Oxford International has forged an outstanding reputation for supporting students from around the world achieve their educational goals and become global citizens who work for the common good in our world.
