Description:
At James Cook University you will enjoy a unique natural environment while taking classes toward your degree at your home institution. JCU's main campuses are located in tropical North Queensland, where millions of visitors come each year to experience the Great Barrier Reef and the islands and rainforests of the Wet Tropics. The Townsville campus is located in a tropical, bushland setting, 8 miles from the city center and beach area. The Cairns campus is surrounded on three sides by rainforest-covered mountains and is located just nine miles north of the city center.
Highlights:
The Study Australia program includes a 5-day group orientation (for most of our sites), guaranteed, fully-furnished, and prearranged housing for your entire stay abroad, a Resident Director, and much more. Whether you choose to study Coral Reef Ecology, Aboriginal Studies, Graphic Design, Nursing, Sport Science, or any of the hundreds of subjects JCU has to offer, you will find quality teaching, friendly campuses, and a relaxed tropical way of life. The University is named for the renowned eighteenth century English navigator and explorer, Captain James Cook. Cook landed on the east coast of Australia in 1770, and the University was founded 200 years later in Townsville in 1970. Study Australia offers students the chance to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji before heading to their host campus. These optional trips provide the comfort of a group atmosphere along with trained guides from highly reputable tour providers that specialize in student travel. Fall Semester participants can choose between two tour options. Bond University participants may join Study Australia on a 4-day Fiji Island Adventure. Other Fall semester participants can explore the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland. Spring Semester participants can participate on three additional pre-semester trips. Students can explore the natural wonders and extreme activities on a 7-day venture through the South Island of New Zealand. Surf through a 6-day trip from Sydney to Byron Bay stopping at some of the most pristine beaches in Australia. Explore Tropical Far North Queensland and the city of Cairns, where the reef meets the rainforest, on this 7-day trip.
