Alumni in China - Getting Involved
University of Melbourne has nearly 1,000 alumni registered in mainland China. The University currently holds an annual graduate careers function in Shanghai. This event gives new graduates the opportunity to meet key employers, industry representatives, professional associations, recruiters and experienced University of Melbourne alumni.
Soon, a Chinese Alumni Association will be launched which will give all alumni living in China the chance to get involved and enjoy the benefits of networking opportunities, social contacts and alumni events which will be organised by the association.
Make sure you keep your details up-to-date so the University can keep you informed.
