Australia is one of the leading countries in providing scholarships for Vietnamese students.
Since the 1970s, more than 5,800 Vietnamese citizens have received scholarships from the Australian Government. In addition, over 50,000 people self-funded their study there.
“When the students come back to Vietnam, we hope they will continue contributing to Vietnamese economy, society and do great things to the country,” the Australian official said.
In February, China is a leading country in sending students to Australia, followed by India, Nepal, and Malaysia.
Surveys showed that highly-qualified degrees and university qualities were two major attractions for international students.
