NSW plan for the safe return of international students
|
You might have heard about the New South Wales Government’s announcement last week about their plan for the safe return of international students. ANU is a partner in this plan and helped develop it.
If the Federal Government approves the NSW plan, we hope a small number of our students will be able to participate in the program after its initial phase has been completed successfully. We will contact eligible students in due course, if and when places are available for them.
We’re looking forward to welcoming all of our students overseas safely back home to ANU campus as soon as possible. The NSW program is an important step to making this ambition a reality.
