New York University Sydney

NYU Sydney is housed in an architecturally significant sandstone building known as the Science House, located in the Rocks, a historic area of the city center on the southern shore of beautiful Sydney Harbour. The building houses classrooms, faculty and staff offices, a computer lab, a lounge, and a kitchen stocked with dishes, two refrigerators, a microwave, and a sandwich press. Wi-Fi is available throughout. A beautiful large auditorium offers a venue for guest speakers and events. NYU staff act as your guides as you settle into your newly adopted home. Throughout the semester they plan numerous day trips to places like the Sydney Cricket Ground to attend a match and to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to view indigenous Australian rock engravings. Regional overnight trips may include visits to scenic Armidale; the Blue Mountains; Canberra, Australia’s capital city; and tropical Cairns.

NYU Sydney offers courses during the fall semester, an accelerated Summer Session, and a January Term. While you explore indigenous Australian art and the culture of the longest continuous civilization on the planet, you also take courses in anthropology, business, environmental studies, journalism, media and communication, and psychology. Faculty-led outings to remote regions and communities not generally accessible to tourists are an important part of the academic program and inform your global experience.
