About the Program
Students considering undergoing university studies in Australia, would strongly benefit from this tour. Participants will travel to visit various quality Australian universities allowing a first hand investigation of courses and facilities. This program, however, is not only about formal education as students also get to experience some of the most beautiful and exciting attractions which Australia has to offer. Participants will have the unique opportunity to experience snow skiing* and surfing in the same program as well as learning about cultural, historical and environmental aspects of Australia.
Participants of the Tertiary Familiarisation Tour visit Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. Tour members will be accommodated in no less than three star shared accommodation with most meals being included in the tour price. Study Tours Australia aims to visit the universities which are of interest to the tour members. Suggested universities which may be included in the tour are:
- Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)
- Monash University
- Australian National University (ANU),
- University of New South Wales,
- Sydney University
Please discuss the possibility of visiting the university of your choice with a Study Tours Australia consultant if it is not listed above.
The Tertiary Familisation Tour provides a valuable opportunity for students
to make an educated choice about their future studies in Australia.
Our next Tertiary Familiarisation Tour will be held in August 2006 for a very competitive price. We have provided further
