Program Highlights

Live in student housing ranging from flexi-catered apartments just off campus to self-catered facilities on campus.

Take courses in developmental and social psychology, cognition, and perception, which tend to match with prerequisites in most psychology curricula in US higher education.

Stay in a city surrounded by a national park and 17 patrolled beaches – the perfect environment for an amazing range of recreational activities.

Get from campus to the city, your new home, or the beach all that much easier—thanks to a free bus service to/from/around the university.

Access both the buzz of Sydney and the quieter, more intimate vibe of Wollongong.

More than I could have ever dreamed of in an Australian Experience!

Everything about The University of Wollongong is great....gorgeous campus, gorgeous beaches, nicest people, great classes! I could go on for days. I have dreamed of coming to Australia since I was about 7, and this experience is better than anything I could have imagined. I live on campus in Kooloobong, and the people here are really like a tiny family, right from the start they took us in and made us feel at home. The city of Wollongong is great too, tons of good night life, shops, food and beaches. I really cant stop saying good things about this place! Health and Safety: We got notified if there was any issue with safety rather quickly....and I never felt unsafe
