University Study in Australia
We have new affiliations with two top Australian universities: the University of Sydney and Queensland University of Technology. These partnerships were initiated due to their diverse academic offerings, strong on-site support, and welcoming student populations. While University of Minnesota students previously had the option to study at these schools via affiliated provider options, formal affiliations with these universities will make the study abroad experience less expensive for UofM students and allow for expanded curricular collaboration with departments here at the UofM. These new options complement our current partnerships in Australia with the University of Melbourne and James Cook University.The University of Sydney, located in the heart of Australia’s largest city, is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious university. While coursework and internships are available across a wide range of majors, USyd’s strengths lie in its health and life science, humanities, and engineering programs. Students have the opportunity to live, study, and play alongside students from around the world in an international campus setting, experiencing the unique benefits of Australian university life.
Located in Brisbane, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) offers courses in a wide range of majors—from the arts and humanities to technology and engineering—known for their unique project-based approach to teaching and learning. Innovation and creativity are prized at QUT, where students can enjoy big-city life without big-city prices in Australia’s second-ranked city for student life.
Applications to study at either school for Fall 2015 are due April 1. To learn more about these two universities, and explore possible curricular matches with your department, contact Eric Leinen.
