This program offers full immersion in the Australian education system at James Cook University in Cairns, a leading tropical research university with highly recognized faculty members. James Cook University's course offerings in the natural and physical sciences are particularly strong and diverse. You may choose any course from James Cook University's full course catalog, including Business, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, Information Technology, Science and Social Sciences, thereby earning credit toward your major or additional graduation requirements.
One of Australia's most popular tourist destinations, Cairns welcomes more than two million visitors each year to its spectacular natural attractions, including the Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests, rivers and waterfalls, crater lakes, national parks, hinterland regions and the coastal resort towns of Port Douglas and Mission Beach. A diverse population of 140,000, Cairns is much smaller than Sydney (CEA's other Australian destination) and offers much for the outdoor-loving student.
These special environments provide living laboratories for your studies. When you add the lower cost of living and the friendly Queensland lifestyle, it is easy to see why Cairns is a popular destination for students from around the globe. Main industries in Cairns include tourism, shipping and agriculture. Engage in your surroundings with courses that take you out of the classroom and give you hands-on experience with the laid-back Australian lifestyle and surrounding natural beauty.
