Let the world be your classroom

Imagine being able to travel and see the world as part of your university studies.

Bond University’s Australian Experience study programs introduce students to the ecology, people, history and culture of this diverse and fascinating country. Presented as a combination of classroom and fieldwork, our four-week and six-week study programs are designed especially for oversea students to give in-depth theoretical understanding of the Australian way of life, reinforced by the experience of being exposed to famous cultural, historical and ecological locations throughout Australia.

The Six-week program (June-July) explores the variety of this vast and unique country. Students will travel to tropical Darwin and the red centre of the Northern Territory; Canberra, the national capital; to Sydney, home of the world famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge; and on excursions to the spectacular Queensland Coast.

The Four-week program (July-August) looks more closely at the flora and fauna and special ecological issues presented by the coastal, marine and rainforest parks of eastern Queensland, concentrating on World Heritage – listed Fraser Island and the tropical forests and coastline including a trip to Hervey Bay. This group will spend several days on one of the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, exploring the unique ecological wonders of the coral reefs and cays.

Programs are scheduled to suit the northern hemisphere summer break. Students may take either or both programs, enabling them to add one, two or three subject credits to their degree without having to take time out of regular studies at home.
