Testimonials
New ideas from speakers about internationalisation of an institution was most beneficial about attending the 6th QS-APPLE conference.
Stephen Loo
Asia Pacific International University, Thailand
I had the chance to network with people of diverse backgrounds and specialties. There were also many interesting presentations.
Muhammad Ismail Hubaan
National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan
As an administrator, attending the 6th QS-APPLE conference has helped me to widen my perspective of higher education and it has given more meaning to my role within my university.
Lai Chieh Ming
Singapore Management University
I presented at the 6th QS-APPLE because I believed we had something useful to say to other education providers who have international students studying in the host countries but who intend to return to their home countries to practise/work. I also knew that the QS-APPLE conference would give us exposure to many people from various universities in the region.
Carole Chung Mei Choo
Monash University, Malaysia
I enjoyed speaking at the 6th QS-APPLE conference. This is an excellent platform to share our experience with the world. It is also great to hear comments/feedback on how others think about our experience. This way, we can learn to look at ourselves from different angles and hopefully gain more new ideas on how to improve.
Surakit Nathisuwan
Mahidol University, Thailand
I decided to present at the 6th QS-APPLE because I had heard about the quality of the conference and I wanted to share my ideas with the participants at a meaningful and reputable event. The audience asked very good questions and people continued to interact with me long after my presentation was over.
