About Program

Study in Sydney, Australia with one of the 5 universities ISA partners with! Sydney is the oldest, largest and most iconic city in all of Australia - with something to do for everyone.

Students have the option to choose from the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Macquarie University, the International College of Management - Sydney (ICMS), or the University of Technology - Sydney (UTS). Each program offers unique and exciting study opportunities, ranging from world-top ranked academic and research institutions, to specialized programs for students interested in specific fields.

Although Sydney is quite large, encompassing over 4 million people, the amazing transportation system allows for students to easily access all of the city's trademark locations. From the famous Bondi and Coogee beaches, to the Sydney Harbour and Opera house, to the vibrant markets of Chinatown, adventures are only a train or bus ride away!

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with ISA by WorldStrides for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Australia Abroad

I have an amazing experience. GlobalLinks Bridging Culture Program provided me a week of continuous fun and adventures. I was able to connect with other students and create memories to last a lifetime. When I arrived in Sydney my housing was set up for me and the process to get there was fairly simple.

What would you improve about this program?
If I could change one thing I would have booked my own flight instead of booking through STA. I could have booked a cheaper flight but it was strongly recommended to book through STA so everyone in the program would fly together.

What would you improve about this program?
In retrospect I would have liked to know more about the differences in the grading system compared to the U.S. It would also have been helpful to know that every exam in every class was essay style. I work very hard in school and I felt as if my hard work was not paying off at the University of Sydney like it did at my home Uni. I was in a rare situation where my grades transferred back verbatim rather than as pass/fail (the more common method).

An Excellent Opportunity

GlobaLinks has been a great help in facilitating my move to the University of Sydney. The staff provided me with all the services I required, from offering advice on particular universities to helping me find a great place to live.

Sydney is a wonderful place to study. The university itself is excellent, and the Sydney has much to offer an ambitious tourist. It is altogether beautiful and lovely here. The people are friendly. The transportation is affordable and very reliable. It truly is an ideal place for anyone interested in serious study, and some great fun on the side.

What would you improve about this program?
The program is very good. Perhaps one small area of improvement would be to have a wider range of possible housing options for students to consider.

ICMS ROCKS!

The International College of Management in Sydney is one of the best schools in the New South Wales area. Not only is the staff and faculty friendly and helpful, but the student body and its diversity in students and personalities guided me to some life's most important decisions: how to have fun! The academics are rigorous, but well worth it. In today's competitive work environment, I still mention projects and learnings from my class time at ICMS. The social scene is awesome since the college offers many extracurricular activities and school-wide outings. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for an academic and social challenge. Did I mention the housing overlooks Manly Beach?
