Study Abroad in Australia
The sixth largest country in the world, Australia is nearly the same size as the continental United States and home to 20 million people. Boasting some of the most spectacular travel destinations in
the world, Australia’s biggest attraction is its natural beauty. Australia is well known for its varied landscapes from the red deserts of the Outback to the white sand beaches that surround nearly the entire continent. Just off the Queensland Coast visitors will find the largest coral reef system on Earth, the Great Barrier Reef, which stretches more than 1,600 miles (2,600 km).
Discover Contemporary Australia
Australia’s culture is both contemporary and innovative. In this increasingly global world, the country of Australia has built a strong reputation for being a Leader
in the Sciences, a Partner to Asia, and an Innovator in the
Arts.
Australia is a modern, highly educated culture with a
hunger for knowledge and research. Australia has contributed
to the international science and research fields through
fascinating discoveries, high quality educational opportunities,
and international collaboration. And because Australia is
geographically located near Asia, one of the fastest developing
regions of the world, Australia possesses immediate ties to some
of the most powerful global economic and industrial exporters
in the world. Plus, with inspiring landscapes, diverse cultural
identities, and a flair for the creative, Australia has a uniqueness
reflected dynamically through the arts.
Five Great Reasons to Study in Australia
- Australia is a big place full of opportunities for adventure.
The diversity of activities in Australia is matched only by the
diversity of its natural wonders and sophisticated cities.
- The Aboriginal culture is one of the oldest on Earth, lending
to its mystique and uniqueness.
- Australia is closer than you think. Did you know that flying
from Los Angeles to Sydney takes exactly the same amount
of time as flying from Los Angeles to Rome?
- No matter what the time of year, somewhere in Australia the
weather is warm and wonderful. The seasons are reversed
so when it is winter in North America, it is summer in
Australia. Even the “cooler” months are considered the best
time to see the deserts and tropical north.
- Everyone speaks English, so you will feel right at home and
easily mix in with the locals.

Study Abroad in New Zealand
New Zealand is a unique country. Its scenery sets it apart from
the rest of the world, while its people have a reputation for
friendliness, strength, and independence. There is abundant
beauty and diversity in scenery, lifestyle, and culture. New
Zealand offers a sample of every possible landscape within
a relatively small country. Rolling green farmlands, barren
volcanic desert areas, golden beaches with clear blue water,
dramatic fiords, and majestic snow covered mountains all
combine to form one of the most beautiful countries on earth.
Famous movies such as Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of
Narnia revealed New Zealand’s breathtaking scenery and serene
landscapes to millions of people around the world.
However, the real charm and allure of the country is not only in
what you’ll see, but also what you will DO. Kiwis are embedded
with a “give-it-a-go” frame of mind, and you can’t help but soak
it up yourself the minute you step foot in this gorgeous country.
AustraLearn encourages you to explore New Zealand and
CHALLENGE YOURSELF by embracing adventure, celebrating
culture, and conserving the environment!
Five Great Reasons to Study in New Zealand
- New Zealand is considered the adventure capital of the
world. You can hike, bungee jump, whitewater river raft,
fish, scuba dive, sky dive, and more.
- The blend of native Mäori and European heritage culture is
unlike any other nation.
- You can get the best of both worlds in New Zealand. One
day you can be scuba diving in the Bay of Islands on the
North Island and the next day skiing in Queenstown on the
South Island.
- New Zealand is the largest Pacific Island nation with unique
music, dance, and history from a Polynesian-like heritage.
- As an English speaking country, language barriers will not
hinder your experience.

Study Abroad in Fiji
Fiji is well known for its 333 unspoiled islands in the tropical
South Pacific. Fiji offers its visitors clean air and water, an
unpolluted environment, lack of serious diseases such as malaria,
uncrowded beaches, virgin coral reefs and forests, an exotic
culture, and above all, the genuine enthusiasm for life and the
friendliness of the people. There are reliable roads around the
island of Viti Levu, home to Nadi, the international airport hub,
and Suva, the capital city. You will be made to feel welcome as a
visitor, and all that is asked in return is a similarly relaxed and
friendly attitude.
Five Great Reasons to Study Abroad in Fiji

people, yet you will also hear several other languages spoken

Pacific Island languages.
- The Fijian culture is incredibly unique and extremely
welcoming - Fijians are typically friendly, communal,
traditional, and always up for a good time.

fashion style. Get ready to feel relaxed even in your daily
dress.
- Island hopping - Spend your weekends exploring any number of the over 300 outlaying islands for even more adventures.
- Living in Suva provides great access to beautiful beaches for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and surfing. The nearest beach, Pacific Harbor, is within 30 minutes, and Coral Coast is within a couple hours by bus.
