South Asia is one of the biggest source market regions for international students for both Western Australia and Australia. This workshop will allow participants to engage industry leaders, students, and providers to exchange thoughts on the South Asia market and opportunities for working effectively with South Asian students and institutions. 

The workshop will look at:

- How we are tracking with enrolments and commencements from South Asia across various sectors

- Explore cultural, social, and legal opportunities & challenges that students from South Asia face

- Discuss emerging student recruitment and partnership opportunities in South Asia
