On a student exchange in Australia you will expand your horizons, meet new people and learn English surrounded by stunning beaches, vibrant cities and Australia’s breathtaking “outback.”
Experience a new world “Down Under”
Australia is unlike any other place on earth. Only in Australia will you find natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rick; unique animals, such as koalas and kangaroos; 50,000 kilometers of pristine beaches and exciting cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Your high school year in Australia will be a life changing experience.
Laid back “Aussies”
Australians are known for being laid back and friendly, and today, Australia is home to an exhilarating mix of people, foods and cultures. It has some of the world’s oldest living cultures, practiced by Aboriginal Australians for tens of thousands of years. Immigrants from Europe and elsewhere have shaped its culture in recent centuries. This makes an exchange year in Australia an exciting and unique experience, an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
Beaches and barbeques
More than 80 percent of Australians live within 50 kilometers of the coast, and they love to spend time outdoors, especially on the beach. Barbecues, surfing, swimming, sailing and other outdoor activities are important parts of the Australian experience.
