Australian students seek internships in Thailand
A number of 189 Australian undergraduate students will study and work in Thailand in 2017, under the Australian government’s flagship New Colombo Plan education programme.
Some are placed to work with Bangkok's Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, Chiang Mai's Om Koi Hospital, and Chaiyaphum's Beaumont Ruam Pattana School.
The New Colombo Plan is a signature initiative of the Australian government to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific by supporting Australian undergraduate students to study and undertake internships in the region. Since the programme was launched in 2015, the number of participating students will reach 500 in 2017.
“New Colombo Plan mobility students will return to Australia with new insights and understanding about Thailand and new friendships that will last a lifetime,” Australian Ambassador to Thailand Paul Robilliard said.
“These are exciting projects that demonstrate the many opportunities for Australian students to deepen their academic and life experiences through study and work placements in Thailand,” Robilliard said.
