February 26, 2021 Undergraduate students that would have been going to the University New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia were instead given a virtual welcome lecture by university representatives yesterday. The lecture hosted at Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), was to provide the undergraduate students in Petroleum Engineering, with the necessary information and resources that were available from UNSW, as they were unable to travel to Sydney in time to start their academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In her opening remarks, Vice-Chancellor of UTB Professor Dr Hajah Zohrah binti Haji Sulaiman said that it was unfortunate that the UNSW students in Brunei were unable to travel to Sydney, but their safety and well-being are the university’s top priority.
