BSC welcomes 200 new International Students

Holmesglen’s Danish Connection

200 new international students bravely embraced Melbourne’s cold winter weather to start a new journey at Holmesglen. These students were warmly welcomed by the Business Service Centre (BSC) at an enjoyable function organised by Sue Prior, International Students Coordinator (BSC).

Students, together with their teachers and program co-ordinators, enjoyed the opportunity to mingle and mix with other students enrolled in Holmesglen diverse business programs. Students from more than 20 coun- tries attended the function.

Students from Holmesglen’s Offshore Programs partner institutions in China also attended the function and were happy to see familiar faces such as Judy Miller, Manager of BSC’s Offshore Programs, and Rhonda Edwards, Manager of the International Centre’s Offshore Programs Unit.

Holmesglen’s Danish Connection
The International Centre welcomed Bettina Christensen D’Ambrosio to Holmesglen on 25 August. Bettina was visiting Melbourne from the NordjyllandsErhvervsakademi in Denmark as part of a familiarisation tour to institutions with whom her college has an exchange agreement which allow students from both institu- tions to undertake part of their courses at the partner institution.

Three students from the Nordjyllands Erhvervsakademi will begin studies in the Bachelor of Built Environment in September. They will complete one semester of the course at Holmesglen for which they will be able to receive credit towards their studies in Denmark.

In the three days that Bettina spent at Holmesglen, she was able to view the facilities at Chadstone and Waverley and to talk to staff in depth about how an international office of a large organization operates. The Nordjyllands Erhvervsakademi currently has about 1,000 students including 200 international students mainly from European countries and Bettina was impressed at the scale of the International Centre and the wide range of services provided by Holmesglen to its international students.
