 Study Abroad in Australia


Gain new perspectives on Aboriginal society and the Asia-Pacific region. The alluring “Land Down Under” is known for its cultural diversity, spectacular range of landscapes and world-class universities. Outside its popular cities of Cairns, Sydney and Melbourne, venture into tropical rainforests, the Outback or the Great Barrier Reef. The nation’s capital, Canberra, has all the attractions of a major city in a smaller area and is particularly close to fantastic hiking, skiing and biking areas.

While enjoying the Aussie style, food, surf, cinema and general laid-back culture, you may also pursue real-world experience through an internship for academic credit in business, the sciences or other disciplines. Exciting courses in this top academic destination include molecular biology, human genetics, environmental studies and studio art.
