ATN25 Global Graduates Series
ATN Universities is excited to present a new series of feature stories as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, From Australian Campuses to Global Careers.
We already know that international students bring great benefits to Australia when they choose to study here. They bring their talents, knowledge and culture, they offer different perspectives in their classes, they contribute to the economy and their families and friends often come to experience Australia as well. But links to Australia endure well beyond graduation. Whether international students stay or head back home, they maintain friendships and take a bit of Australian culture wherever they go.
ATN Universities is pleased to showcase some of the international student alumni from our member universities who have gone on to take Australia, and the world, by storm following their studies. Check out their stories below.
