Nine faculties and more than 70 research centers and institutes give you an idea of just how wide the course offerings are at UNSW.

Highlights: An Arcadia program isn't just about enrolling you in an overseas institution however. It's about all of the services we provide. Before you go, you can contact our program manager for advice on the application process, choosing courses, or simply what you should pack. Once you arrive, our Australia staff will lead an orientation program along the Mornington Peninsula and in Melbourne that will introduce you to the culture, history and politics of Australia as well as preparing you for the academic challenges of studying in a different educational system. During the semester, Arcadia's staff will plan excursions and activities designed to expand your understanding of Australian culture and help you integrate into university life.

It's almost impossible to explain in words the educational and cultural experience that study abroad can be and Arcadia is there to help you get the most out of the experience.
