Bandar Seri Begawan - The Australian High Commission is hosting a hi-tea for 15 Bruneian students who are about to embark on a three-year articulation at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), a Group of 8 university in Australia today, a press release stated.

HRD Services, as the local representative of the University of New South Wales in Brunei, established-dialogue between the UNSW and Institut Teknologi Brunei (ITB).

This dialogue resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding whereby students complete the first of a four-year degree programme at ITB, before heading off to the University of New South Wales, in Australia, for the remaining three years of study.

Over time, it is anticipated that the programmes will become more localised, with a greater amount of time spent studying in Brunei.

The 15 students comprise BSP scholars, Ministry of Education scholars and privately funded students and will leave Brunei between July 7 and July 11 to begin their studies at mid-year entry. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
