Study in Australia: Deakin launches Interactive Week 2024 for Indian students

Deakin University's Interactive Week 2024 for Indian students will be held from September 16 to September 27. The event was highly anticipated and it will help the participants to get interaction opportunities with Deakin's current students, alumni and faculties.

Study Abroad: Deakin University Australia launched the 'Deakin Interactive Week (i-Week) 2024' yesterday at Le Meridien, New Delhi. It was a highly anticipated annual event of the university.

The event is designed for Indian students and will offer them a series of informative, immersive and interactive sessions with the university's current students, university academics and alumni. These sessions will run across major cities in India between September 16 to September 27.

The subject matter experts and faculties of the university have come to India to bridge the gap between the university and Indian aspirants.

While commenting on this Ravneet Pawha, Vice President (Global Engagement) and CEO (South Asia) of Deakin University, said, "Deakin i-Week 2024 exemplifies our deep commitment to empowering Indian students with the knowledge, global insights, and experiences essential to thrive in today's fast-evolving world. Each year, we are proud to provide students with the most up-to-date information and personalized guidance, ensuring they excel both academically and professionally in emerging fields. Our goal is to offer an unparalleled international student experience, supported by seamless assistance at every step," as reported by PRNewswire.

"This event presents a unique opportunity for ambitious students, along with their parents and guardians, to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions for a successful future. I wholeheartedly invite everyone to take full advantage of what Deakin i-Week has to offer," added Ravneet Pawha.

i-Week is in its seventh year now and it helps aspirants to empower themselves with the knowledge they need to have about the university. The live interactions will provide aspirants with actual information about the study opportunities at Deakin University and Australia. The participants will interact with the university's delegation to gain valuable insights into the study opportunity in Australia.

During the launch event, George Duke, Associate Head of School, International and Engagement, School of Humanities and Social Science, Deakin University said, "It has been a fantastic experience talking to so many students and their parents to get a sense of just know how fascinated they are in the subject areas of their interest. The Deakin interaction resonates very well with the students because it makes a lot of difference to be able to speak to an academic face-to-face rather than to be just looking for all the information online. It is great to be able to look into the students' eyes and tell them that the career path that they are in has a great future for them."

Isha, an aspirant who is also a commerce graduate from New Delhi said, "I came with a lot of questions not just about academics but also about accommodation and support for students on campus in Australia. Information like this is difficult to find and the Deakin team here has been very helpful in putting me in direct touch with someone who can help me sort out all of that. I got a chance to interact with Deakin alumni who shared firsthand information about the best ways to settle down, make friends and thrive at Deakin."
