General Information 

Our AustraLearn program offers study abroad programs in seven universities in New Zealand and nineteen universities in Australia. This program offers semester, summer, and year-long sessions, as well as internships. During the weekends, each university sets up excursions and other social events for the students to enjoy.

Australearn has established a long-term relationship with a major travel agency which will set the student up with airfare to Australia, and to travel throughout Australia while studying. All Australearn students from the US can travel on a group airline ride to Australia, with an initial stop in Cairns. The agency will further assist a student if he or she wants stopovers in New Zealand or Fiji.
