In a remarkable tale of academic achievement and global ambition, AU INP student, Glea Rose Malbas, has successfully graduated from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Perth, Western Australia, marking the culmination of a four-year educational journey that started at Arellano University in Manila Philippines. 

Ms. Malbas' INP journey began in the Philippines, where she spent two years at Arellano University, one of the country's well-respected institutions offering a robust nursing program. Determined to pursue higher education abroad, Glea transferred to ECU, a foreign partner of AU, and known for its outstanding nursing faculty and international student support services.

In 2023, after passing the Pearson Test of English (PTE), she was able to meet the language requirements and make the transition from Arellano University to ECU. This achievement marked a major milestone in her academic career, allowing her to complete the remaining two years of her degree at the Australian university.

Glea earned a Bachelor of Nursing degree from ECU in September 2024, preparing her for a rewarding career in the healthcare industry. Her success stands as a testament to the growing opportunities for AU INP students seeking world-class education abroad.
