ANU launches a new, ground-breaking program for refugees
|
|
The Australian Refugee Welcome University Sponsorship Consortium (ARWUSC), spearheaded by ANU, unites 12
universities deeply committed to creating a positive social impact. This collaborative effort, spanning the nation, aims to develop an innovative educational pathway for refugees looking to settle in Australia.
Twelve Australian universities are partnering with the Commonwealth government to facilitate a streamlined
process for refugees from conflict zones such as Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine to pursue higher education at their institutions.
ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt said “this (program) gives an opportunity to empower people to
create better lives for themselves and others”. The consortium will deliver long-term benefits to Australia and offering opportunities to young people who have had their educational journey disrupted.
The 12 universities signed up for the Australian Refugee Welcome University Sponsorship Consortium are The
Australian National University, the University of Canberra, Charles Darwin University, Charles Sturt University, Curtin University, Deakin University, Griffith University, the University of Melbourne, the University of South Australia, the University of Technology
Sydney, the University of Tasmania and Victoria University.
