Early childhood education students from Europe have joined six other international students from as far as Canada, Ghana and Korea to commence their studies in the second academic session at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga. Ms Ines Suhonjic from Sweden and Ms Louise Nedergaard Rathleff from Denmark will study subjects from the University’s degree in early childhood and primary education for four months, using scholarships they won under a new European U Mobility project, which encourages the exchange of undergraduate students between three European and three Australian universities, including CSU. Both students said they always dreamed of coming to Australia, but could only afford it with the help of the scholarship. Ms Nedergaard Rathleff, from the Danish town of Hjorring, said she wanted to see regional Australia rather than the cities as she was more used to outgoing country people and having nature around her. The second academic session at CSU commenced on Monday 11 July and continues to Friday 28 October.
