Edlocate offers 3 excellent destinations under their study abroad programmes
View(s):Hi Boys and Girls. Yes, we are specially addressing the young ones looking at entering undergraduate courses on completion of your secondary education. Your London A/L results are expected in about 3 week’s time. It is the right time to seriously think of where you want to spend the next few years doing your tertiary studies – Should it be in a Western country –possibly USA or UK or should it be in a Pacific or an Asian country – Australia, New Zealand or Malaysia? Making the right decision is so vital and critical because it is your future that will be shaped based on your final choice.
Whilst USA and UK can boast of a limited number of prestigious educational institutions with many years of history, is that by itself the reason to choose to study at ANY university in one of those countries? Do all universities in USA and UK provide the same high quality of education? Is a reduction of the tuition by way of a scholarship for any reason other than for merit the most important issue?
We at Edlocate offer you 3 destinations ideal to commence your tertiary studies at undergraduate level – Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. Once you study well and obtain your first degree with excellent performance, you will naturally be invited to join top universities of UK and USA for post graduate studies if that is your final ambition.
Australia is a developed country with a big land area, a small population, far away from the world’s hot spots and with huge amounts of untapped resources. Except for the minority native people the rest are all migrants from all parts of the world and thus there is minimum discrimination due to skin colour, religion or nationality. These “plus” points make Australia naturally one of the best countries in the world to study, get work experience and if required to live and join the work force. The universities in Australia are all under strict scrutiny of the state to ensure that they maintain quality and constantly upgrade courses, work with industry and the universities give emphasis to research. Edlocate represents 21 of the 37 Australian universities in Sri Lanka with signed agreements. Seven of these are in the top 8 – Go8 universities. The universities are situated in all 5 states and the 3 territories giving students a wider choice to select from. We are a streamlined student agency appointed by the Australian High Commission in Colombo that makes obtaining of student visa for genuine students a hassle free one.
New Zealand is yet another peaceful country similar in most aspects to Australia except that it has not got the same economic strengths. It is one of the most liveable countries in the world. Being smaller than Australia it offers more flexibility with regard to travel. The tertiary education in New Zealand too is highly audited by the government to ensure that quality is maintained. Edlocate offers students a choice of studying at the best New Zealand University – University of Auckland, The Waikato University in Hamilton just 2 hours away by train/ bus from Auckland and at UniTec institute of Technology offering 16 bachelor degrees with 41 majors and 45 diploma programs.
Both Australia and New Zealand offer students on completion of studies post study work visa and those with right skills the ability to join the work force with residency.
Malaysia is another country we offer for you to study. You could study fully for an excellent degree or part study and join a university in Australia or New Zealand to complete a degree. There are 3 universities in Kuala Lumpur Monash Sunway Campus, INTI and Taylors in KUL, Swinburne Sarawak Campus and Curtin University in Miri to choose from. Malaysian university education is of excellent quality and resources and facilities for studies are excellent. The comparatively lower tuition fee is no way a negative reflection on the quality of courses on offer.
Edlocate can offer excellent pathway programmes to universities for those of you without direct entry results (A/L with 3 passes and grade) High achieving students with excellent A/L results would be recommended for a good number of scholarships on offer purely on merit. You can apply for forthcoming enrolments in second half of 2013/ February 2014 and secure placements avoiding the last minute rush with predicted results at A/L.
