Over four lakh students move out of India to pursue higher education abroad every year. Countries such as the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand are some of the most popular destinations of higher education abroad for Indian students. With the ever increasing demand for well trained professionals, overseas education brings with it the advantage of access to better resources, faculty and training. However, to encompass both educational and corporate requirements for an international global environment in one course is unique in itself. One pioneering institute following such a model is Stallion Institute of International Studies which provides international education and enhances employability skills with a view to help students faces the challenges of a global work environment.

Stallion is a collaborative venture with Avonmore Tertiary Institute, a private tertiary institute provider in New Zealand.
