It is a comprehensive education group focusing on high-end international education as its core business. The group's business covers a wide range of areas including joint education, international education, study abroad, language training, and overseas study tours.

About Us
From its inception, Panda Education Group has taken on the mission to promote the internationalization and specialization of Australian education. Operating under the principle of mutual cooperation and win-win, it provides high-level education products and services to the world. With a forward-looking vision, a professional attitude, efficient operations, and excellent performance, it has received unanimous praise from students, parents, and partners.
​
Through more than a decade of practice and development, Panda Education Group has accumulated rich experience and extensive resources in the field of international education, gradually forming a comprehensive educational layout ranging from vocational education, undergraduate to postgraduate higher education. Based on the firm relationships with Australian institutions and years of exploration, it has now established a complete international education industry chain, from online courses, overseas higher education, and joint education, and is committed to becoming a leader in the industry.
​
"Achievement, Professional, Innovation" is the development philosophy that Panda Education has always adhered to. Panda Education Group's main business is composed of two major sectors: international higher education and overseas study tours."
International Higher Education
Panda Education Group is committed to building Chinese-foreign cooperative schools and bridge courses for Australian universities. The courses cover vocational education that junior high school students can enroll in, as well as international university courses (which can directly convert to undergraduate and postgraduate credits at Australian universities). The group also represents several Australian universities in actively seeking international partners overseas.
​
According to the China Study Abroad Development Report (2020-2021) Blue Book, the COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly affected the actual demand for studying abroad. The number of Chinese students studying abroad continues to grow positively, and "on-site study abroad" has become a new alternative choice during the pandemic. Thus, Panda Education Group has recently created a blended study abroad model with many renowned universities, including Deakin University, whose innovative courses and job prospects have attracted much attention.
​
Deakin University, located in Victoria, Australia, is named after Alfred Deakin, the second prime minister of Australia. It is a top public university funded by the Australian Federal Government and recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. It is ranked among the top 500 young universities in the QS World Rankings. As a highly reputed international comprehensive university, it provides world-class faculty and teaching equipment, cultivates innovative thinking, creates smart campuses, focuses on student services, and provides career guidance. Deakin University offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree courses, and closely cooperates with many universities around the world, providing opportunities for credit exchange, short-term exchange, and visiting scholars. Currently, it has over 70,000 students, making it one of the largest universities in Australia in terms of student size.
​
Despite being young, Deakin University is one of the most vibrant universities in Australia. From 2017 to 2019, the University's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences ranked among the top three in the world for three consecutive years for its excellent academic and research levels and overall influence, ranking first in Australia. Deakin University's Business School was ranked among the top 8 in Australia in the 2019 ARWU and its courses are accredited by AACSB and EQUIS. It is ranked 271 in the 2021 QS World University Rankings. In 2020, Deakin University officially announced its entry into the Australian Technology Universities Alliance. Deakin University has four campuses in Melbourne, Geelong, and Warrnambool.

Overseas Study Tours
Leveraging abundant Australian education resources and in partnership with numerous corporate partners, Panda Education Group promotes high-end overseas study tour programs in nearly 100 universities across the country. Its overseas study tours are distinctly characterized by prominent themes, rich courses, and integration of academia and industry.
​
In 2012, Panda Education Group officially signed an agreement with the School of Economics at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China to jointly build an overseas internship base for the school. This agreement aims to expand the internationalization path of Chinese universities and further cultivate compound talents that are in line with the global financial environment. Since the official successful launch of the project, nearly a dozen batches of students have gone to Australia. During their internship in Australia, the Australian Academy of Financial Trading specifically offers 4 courses with 54 lessons for the interns, hiring experienced Australian financial experts to teach financial knowledge, analyze classic cases, and prepare students for necessary practical skills. After the training, students are placed in top 10 Australian financial companies such as AxiCorp, PtyLtd, CMCMarkets, ASC, BMF (Boston Merchant Financial Pty Ltd), Cityindex, KVB for four weeks of internships in securities, futures, foreign exchange trading, and investment analysis, according to the students' interests, abilities, and specialties. This program not only allows students to learn about international financial transactions but also enables them to understand the operation process of high-end international financial trading companies and practice trading international financial products. This will undoubtedly enhance students' practical abilities and help them grow into outstanding talents in international financial trading.
