International Students’ Network

The International Student Collective is made up of members of SUPRA that are international students.

SUPRA understands that international students frequently face many difficulties that domestic postgraduates do not — especially in relation to fees, visas, immigration, language and cultural barriers, and the general experience of being considered a source of revenue by the University. SUPRA is committed to the representation of international student issues and redressing the unfair exploitative practices.

SUPRA also understands that being a student from a different cultural background can mean it’s more difficult to participate in the student culture on campus. SUPRA is committed to ensuring that the International Postgraduate Students Network provides a means of social engagement, the network also aims to promote diversity culture communication and enrich the international postgraduate student campus experience.
