Get the international academic experience you need.

And have the time of your life over your break accomplishing it.

Utilizing your summer or January break to study abroad and internationalize your academic experience is one of the wisest decisions you can make to get the most of your college years and, most importantly, to prepare for the future.

AustraLearn is pleased to offer you a wide variety of high-quality, unique study abroad options for the Summer and January-term. These high quality yet affordable programs run from 2-6 weeks in duration in New Zealand and every region of Australia during the North American summer. Each course is deeply authentic, as they are not only created by locals from the South Pacific, but led by experts who reside within the countries as well.

Longer Summer School Programs

AustraLearn also offers longer summer school options for students interested in taking a full course load similar to that of a traditional semester. Both of these options come to you from locations which run on a quarter system as opposed to the semester system. The quarter system available at both locations is complementary to many North American students.  Program dates are usually early May - late August.  For more information on these programs, please email studyabroad@australearn.org.

 

 

Extend Your Semester Abroad with a Summer or January Short Course 

Most of AustraLearn’s short courses can be added on to a semester abroad experience. If you are thinking about a semester or year abroad at a university in Australia, New Zealand or Fiji, be sure to check the start and end dates of both programs to make sure they do not overlap.

 

Asia or Europe

We also offer summer programs in Asia or Europe.
