New international accounting students welcomed
Victoria welcomed 39 international students who have arrived from our partner programme in Malaysia to complete 200- and 300-level accounting study, at a ceremony in July.
Victoria University welcomed 39 international students during July, who are the first transferring cohort to arrive from Kolej Yayasan Saad Business School (KYSB) in Melaka, Malaysia.
KYSB runs an accounting programme in partnership with Victoria and the universities of Auckland and Canterbury.
KYSB teaches the Victoria Foundation Studies and 100-level commerce curriculum, and the students transfer to one of the three universities to complete 200- and 300-level study.
At the ceremony, the students met with staff from Victoria International and the Victoria Business School, as well as Foundation Studies teachers who had overseen some of the teaching in Melaka.
In welcoming the students, Pro Vice-Chancellor (International Engagement) Professor Rob Rabel noted they were following in the footsteps of distinguished Victoria alumnus Tan Sri Halim Saad, who owns KYSB and who had made the programme possible.
Professor Bob Buckle, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Commerce, similarly encouraged them to take advantage of the many academic and other opportunities available through study at Victoria Business School.
