Extending international opportunities for Bangladeshi students, Universal College Bangladesh organised a ‘Monash Progression Day’ on UCB campus in Dhaka on Saturday.
Numerous students, parents, academicians, and media, joined the event to learn more about how to succeed as an international student and build a global career, said a press release.
At the core of the day was a panel discussion titled ‘Study at UCB to begin your international career’.
Jo Mithen, CEO, Monash College Australia, professor Hew Gill, president and provost, UCB, prof Muhammad Ismail Hossain, dean of academic affairs, former UCB students – Faiaz Maksudul Haque, Rafiad Ruhi Jewel, Afrida Nusaiba Masir, and Maliha Nashita Rahman – now studying at Monash University, joined the event.
The student panellists explained how studying at UCB enabled them to fast-track their international higher education journey through Monash pathway programmes, leading direct into the first or second year of their chosen degrees.
Prof Hew Gill said that UCB programmes offered cost-efficient pathways and guaranteed entry to Monash University for Bangladeshi students from international or national curriculum schools.
‘Monash University is ranked 42nd in the 2024 QS World University Rankings. Students globally compete to get into such a prestigious university, and I would encourage Bangladeshi students to apply’, said Jo Mithen.
The attendees also engaged in an open Q/A session in which the UCB students, now at Monash University, explained
how the teaching they received at UCB prepared them for admission to their degrees.
