Study and Internships in Sydney
About Study and Internships in Sydney
Set on Port Jackson, Sydney is Australia's largest city with a
population of over 4 million people. Originally established as a
British colony and now Australia's premier city, Sydney boasts dazzling
harbors, beaches, a multicultural population and a host of restaurants
and attractions. The extensive public transportation system of ferries,
buses and trains let you see and experience it all.
The Study

understanding of Australian culture. The strength of the program is the
internship experience, which allows you to integrate with Australians,
experience the culture first-hand and gain professional work experience.
