Description

Sydney, the site of Australia's first European settlement, is Australia's largest city and home to a fifth of the Australian population. The commercial and business center of Australia, Sydney is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city that generates excitement and features a population that is youthful (47% between the ages of 20 and 35) and diverse (Sydney's residents speak 140 different languages). Sydney is also a major cultural center in Australia, offering a variety of museums, theaters, a world famous opera house, and several excellent universities.

Its stunning setting, sunny days, and mild winter temperatures, also make Sydney one of the most glamorous and attractive cities on earth. Its world-famous harbor, featuring scenic cliffs, bays, and beaches, is considered by many to be the most beautiful urban harbor in the world, and local residents embrace the harbor and the many outdoor opportunities it provides with passion.

The IES Abroad program is designed to facilitate the discovery and cultural exploration of Australia by providing an integrated program of formal academic teaching and informal field study. IES Abroad students also explore these issues through the orientation program organized by IES Abroad.
