Program Overview

Explore and experience Australia's Gold Coast with API Abroad! Through API, students can get the "Down Under" experience with internship and study abroad opportunities. On the Gold Coast, they will see how the other side of the globe lives and how passionate the Aussies are about their sports, arts, and culture. Excursions include attending an AFL Game, going to Byron Bay, seeing the Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, and meeting some unique wildlife at the Gold Coast Wildlife Sanctuary. Located on the beautiful beaches of Australia and just 41 miles south of the Capital of Queensland, the Gold Coast offers many different opportunities for students to live and learn the Aussie way. Students, together with 10 million others, visit the Gold Coast yearly, which leads to a $4.4 billion tourism industry in Australia. Be a part of the Aussie way and look into the API experience on the Gold Coast!
