Adelaide to give students a Dream Start

13 Jul 2010

Education Adelaide and one of India’s largest agent networks, Oceanic Consultants, are the driving force behind a new push to get some of India’s best and brightest students to study in South Australia.

In partnership with four South Australian institutions, and Education Adelaide, leading Indian student recruitment company Oceanic has launched Dream Start 2011. 

More than 35 students from India will be offered prestigious scholarships to study at participating institutions in Australia including the University of South Australia, TAFESA, Flinders University and Carnegie Mellon University.

Education Adelaide Chief Executive Officer says the Dream Start program provides a great opportunity for Indian students and for South Australian institutions to cement their reputations at the quality end of international education provision.

“Adelaide is widely regarded as Australia’s Learning City,” Ms von Wald says.

“We have earned a reputation for providing world-class education opportunities and South Australia is a supportive state which warmly welcomes students from more than 130 countries.”

Ms von Wald says given the challenges in the international education market in Australia and highly competitive global environment, Dream Start also provides a good opportunity to regain some lost momentum in the Indian market.

“While South Australia is still well-placed, it’s important we take every opportunity to boost our profile and Dream Start should help.”

Meanwhile Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Consultants Naresh Gulati is in Adelaide to share his business experience to a group of young hopeful entrepreneurs.

Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Consultants Naresh Gulati is a highly successful Indian entrepreneur in the international education sector.

Mr Gulati will give a guest lecture at the University of South Australia to students studying the Entrepreneur course.
