Programs ask us to contact you themselves to share their prices and what's included, as tuition prices can change depending on which university you attend and international prices change quickly. This program will get back to you in the next 10 days.
We'll pass this standard application to the program. They can help you to continue the application process from there.

* Dynamic international student body - With over 8,000 international students from 100 countries, you'll make tons of friends from Australia and all over the world.
* Historic Sydney - Take a bike ride across the Harbor Bridge, walk in the botanical gardens, and watch the sun set behind the iconic Sydney Opera house.
* Innovative curriculum - Macquarie University is well recognized for its high-quality teaching and research, and its unique parkland campus.
* Internships for credit - Is international work experience part of your study abroad agenda? Sign up for the internship course, and the International Office will find a great fit for you.
* Exciting extracurricular options - From the Global Leadership Program (where you'll hear interesting speakers and attend cultural workshops) to Ultimate Frisbee and touch footy, you'll never want for something to do.
* CISabroad Culture and Adventure Program - When you arrive in Australia, we'll give you a fantastic orientation to the Great Barrier Reef and beyond. Less
I am extremely disappointed with the lack of activities my group and I participated in. Also, lack of communication was a huge issue with my "academic advisor". Overall, in comparison to other various programs CIS lacked significant study abroad essentials Read more

The greatest amount of people I met was through the Village and neighbors or friends of friends. This was a great way to meet new people from America as well as all over the world. I enjoyed my time at the village and would recommend other students studying ab... Read more
Overall, I thought the whole program in Sydney was poorly planned and the description of it was not accurate at all. We were placed in awful accommodation where even internet was not given to us or were not pointed in any direction in installing it. Where asn, every other program we met was given internet with their package. There was also no meal plan which my roommates and I found to have created many more expenses. Read more
I loved everything that the University itself did, however I thought that the information provided by CIS and the support whilst in the country was sub-par. Read more
It was great being able to enrich in the cultural perspective of Sydney and enjoy the many highlights Australia had to offer. However, I wish I could have lived in Sydney instead of suburb 40 minutes away. There were a lot of hidden costs that I did not expect. Overall, I loved this experience minus the lack of organization/ communication from staff. Read more
