Seven agents from Ghana, Zambia, Pakistan, Malawi and Mauritius as well as two representatives from Monash University Malaysia -- senior marketing manager Ms Stephanie Hah and regional manager Ms Claudine Ngoh -- participated in the three-day program.
The agents were taken on a campus tour and shown the facilities in the areas surrounding the campus. They also met and had discussions with all Monash South Africa schools and departments as well as with groups of international and local students.
Monash South Africa marketing manager Mr Andre Lubbe said the program was a great success.
"At the end of the week, we had very positive feedback from the agents, and indications are that there is definitely potential to grow the numbers of international students at Monash South Africa," Mr Lubbe said. |
