The Education Division of ASCC has been formed simultaneously with Chamber itself. Our aim is to improve education in both countries, Australia and the Republic of Serbia, especially through international cooperation. In this cooperation, we engage with diplomatic representatives, private and public corporations, and educational institutions to create links for practical and modern future education. On our way to this goal, we bring two communities together and focus on the improved student experience. We are acting within three Main Projects (MPs).

Main Project (MP) 1 – Study in Australia

Webinar series include guest speakers from large Australian Universities discussing studies in multiple disciplines and on the bachelor, Master and PhD levels. 
 
In August 2021 the Australian Serbian Commerce Chamber hosted the first free webinar providing information to students overseas about opportunities to study in Australia. The webinar included speakers from highly ranked and world-recognised Universities, Monash University in Melbourne and the University of Western Australia, in Perth. The webinar covered studies in Bachelor’s, Masters and PhD courses
