For University Students
These study tours are designed to combine English language study with academic studies and cultural activities. The English language content can be either General English (GE) or English for specific purposes e.g. nursing, depending on the specific interests of your group. This is an ideal opportunity to experience life at an Australian university, visit study-related organisations, participate in a range of cultural activities in the local area and take part in academic activities.
For Special Interest Groups
These study tours are for business, sporting, hobby or other special interest groups, and are designed to provide opportunities to learn English and pursue particular interests with an Australian flavour. For example, practise your English-speaking skills with locals and immersive yourself in places of natural beauty such as wetlands, beautiful coastal areas, national parks and the outback.
