Former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting has invited students from the subcontinent to take up or continue their studies in his home state of Tasmania in Australia. <br />Ponting has teamed up with the Tasmanian Government to encourage more students from India to take advantage of Tasmania’s world-class teaching and learning institutions. <br />Ricky’s judgement was always respected on the cricket field and, as a proud Tasmanian, he’s pleased to be able to highlight the opportunities Tasmania has to offer international guests and students. <br />Studying in Tasmania you can expect: <br />• internationally recognised qualifications and institutions <br />• world-class campus facilities and accommodation options <br />• dedicated peer and community support programs <br />• culturally supportive learning environments <br />• endless career opportunities after graduation <br />• beautiful landscapes, parks and open spaces <br />• vibrant, diverse and friendly community that embraces locals, migrants and international students <br />• fresh, clean and delicious natural produce, food and wine <br />• access to major cultural, artistic and sporting institutions and events <br />• ongoing support for small businesses and entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams. <br />Right now there are many opportunities and study options at both the University of Tasmania and TasTAFE, as well as a range of other specialist institutions, all our education offerings are recognised world-wide and sought after by those wanting a to set their career path on the right track. <br />Importantly, gaining qualifications in Tasmania opens up the opportunity to stay on as a sponsored worker once you find the right job for you. <br />This is a great way to make Tasmania your new home. <br />Let Ricky himself tell you why Tasmania is the best place to learn and gain internationally recognised qualifications in his new ‘Study and Migration Tasmania’ video. <br />See what Ricky has to say at http://www.studytasmania.tas.gov.au/ricky-ponting-campaign/ and see why Tasmania is right for you.
