A WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITY BLENDS TRADITION AND INNOVATION This thriving world-class university draws students for high rankings and its University of Oxford tutorial-style system. Choose from 100+ departments, including computer science and an AACSB-accredited business school. The University of Sydney’s amazing location is another asset. The urban campus—including the magnificent 1857 quad—sits in one of Sydney’s trendiest neighborhoods, yet it’s not far from Darling Harbour and area beaches.

Your program also includes a menu of tours and activities designed to introduce you to Australia’s rich natural beauty, from the rugged Blue Mountains to dazzling beaches, and ensure you learn about deep-set indigenous traditions. And if choosing to study abroad during the spring, choose between the standard University of Sydney Spring Term or the increasingly popular Early Start/Early Depart Spring Term, with more closely aligns with the U.S. semester schedule. The Early Start/Early Depart Spring Term has an earlier application deadline.

Australia has one of the top systems of higher education in the world (23 of its universities are in the world's top 500) and is the 4th largest recipient of international students (behind the U.S., the U.K., and France). The country is known for its diverse and beautiful landscapes that span the largest island in the world (or the smallest continent, depending on your point of view). Five of Australia’s cities are ranked among the world’s top 30 for students to live in (Mercer), and cities such as Brisbane and Sydney are known for their eclectic and international makeup. Come and experience this amazing land through an API study or intern abroad program in Australia! Brisbane serves as the third most visited city in Australia behind Sydney and Melbourne. The city features popular tourist spots like The Wheel of Brisbane, City Botanic Gardens, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the Parliament of Queensland, and the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. But don't worry there is so much more for students to explore and learn more about! Brisbane hosts around 95,000 international students annually, and the international education programs contribute a good portion of revenue to Brisbane's economy.

Veterinary Service: Australia is available as both a high school program (ages 14-18) and a college and young adult program (ages 18-25). This amazing opportunity takes place outside of Sydney, in Calga Springs, where you will live at a ZAA-accredited wildlife sanctuary for two weeks. Your group will be led by a team of veterinarians who help oversee all activities and teach you all about Australian animals. From kangaroos and koalas to frogmouths and pythons, this sanctuary has pretty much any Australian animal you can dream of (except for a platypus). You will get hands-on while learning about marsupials, mammals, birds, and reptiles as well as helping with their upkeep, enrichment, and medical needs. You will work alongside veterinarians and the park staff each day. On weekends, we will head to Sydney for fun activities, including a trip to the Sydney Opera House and some famous beaches. We will also have a behind-the-scenes visit to the veterinary world of the famous Taronga Zoo. An additional adventure week can be added to explore Australia more. College credit and financial aid are available.
