IFSA University of Wollongong Partnership

JOIN A FRIENDLY, LAID-BACK COMMUNITY BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SEA Find everything from computer science to communications to creative arts at this large university. With fewer commuting students than other Aussie schools, it’s easier to get to know Australian peers here. Gather on campus at Duck Pond Lawn or head to the nearby beach to catch some waves. With four beaches and a national park next door, Wollongong is every bit as beautiful and more affordable than Sydney or Melbourne. Keep an eye out for seals, dolphins, and whales as you walk the iconic Blue Mile Walk from North Beach to Wollongong Harbor. Must-see Sydney is just 90 minutes by train, making it easy to explore icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Also included, a full range of tours and activities designed to make sure you see other areas, like lush Hunter Valley and the Blue Mountains, and help you discover deep-set indigenous traditions.
