AustraLearn and James Cook University

  Australia
  • Queensland: 
  • Townsville,  Cairns

Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring 
Dates: February and/or July

Description: JCU is Australia's first tropical university and is internationally-known in areas of geographical relevance and in environmental, ecological and biological research. The main campuses of JCU of North Queensland are located in Townsville and Cairns, both attractive tropical coastal cities with multicultural populations of more the 100,000. Both campuses offer a safe and friendly environment for study and socializing. JCU's undergraduate science program in marine Biology/Marine Science comprises a diverse range of individual subjects and a number of majors. All teaching draws on JCU's close proximity to the Great Barrier Reef; the world's most extensive coral reef system. Environmental Science programs are available on both campuses.

The Townsville campus is located in bushland whilst the Cairns campus, bordered by rainforest, is located in the suburb of Smithfield. Access to World Heritage listed rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef is easily afforded by both cities. The Townsville campus is serviced by bus. The relatively flat terrain of both Cairns and Townsville and relatively little commuter traffic makes bicycle travel popular for both students and the local population.
