Why Indonesia

Indonesia is a vibrant and rapidly expanding market with a population of over 270 million people, making it the largest country in Southeast Asia and the fourth most populous in the world. Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, with a stable average annual GDP growth rate of around 5% in recent years, driven by its strong domestic consumption, investment, and exports.   

Indonesia is a growing source market for international students. It is among the top 10 source countries for international students in New South Wales (NSW). As of September 2024 Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, there are 15,086 Indonesian students enrolled in NSW institutions.

Future-Ready Global Talent?? 

Indonesia has been one of the fastest-growing international education markets for NSW and offers substantial opportunities for continued growth through the development of Transnational Education (TNE) models, skills development, research partnerships and development of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) as well as the implementation of quality standards.??
