Melbourne Showcase in India

That’s a wrap on our very first Melbourne Showcase event in India. We travelled to three cities (Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru) over five days and were thrilled to see so many prospective students turn out and learn what awaits them in Melbourne. We also proudly launched a new Global Alumni Ambassadors Program in India which will provide opportunities for alumni in the country to connect, expand their networks and grow community engagement.

Melbourne Global Alumni Ambassadors

The University launched the Melbourne Global Alumni Ambassadors Program in June 2023. Our Global Alumni Ambassadors act as valuable points of contact within key regions for the University and utilise their networks and expertise to grow – with the support of the University – strong local alumni communities.
