Explore the South Pacific in a Summer Study Abroad Program!
June 13, 2008
Author: Susan Slobac
While classes in North America wind down over the summer, universities in Australia and New Zealand are in full swing. Students can take advantage of the seasonal differences to expand their education and explore the nations of the South Pacific by enrolling in a summer study abroad program.
Since the semester is already underway in the South Pacific during our ‘summer break’, students undertaking summer study in New Zealand and Australia participate in short-term programs that fit their schedule while discovering the remarkable landscapes, coastlines and rich cultures of their host nation.
Where are New Zealand and Australia Summer Study Abroad Programs Held?
Summer study programs are offered through many major universities throughout Australia and New Zealand. In fact, programs are offered by institutions in most major cities. Whether you prefer New Zealand or Australia, summer term options suitable for most fields of study are available.
Why Enroll in a Summer Study Abroad Program?
Studying abroad during the summer is an ideal opportunity to make the most of time between spring and fall semesters at home. Not only does a summer study abroad program allow students to continue their education, but it also provides a rare opportunity to explore the world.
When it comes to summer study australia and New Zealand offer students exceptional opportunities and academic programs. Because seasons in the South Pacific are opposite those of the Northern Hemisphere, the universities there are in full operation during this time. During a New Zealand or Australia summer term, students may choose any number of intriguing programs of study that may not be available at their home university during this time.
Since summer term programs offered at this time are of shorter duration, students can select a summer study abroad program that best fits their university’s schedule and their own course of study. Happily, there are any number of excellent New Zealand and Australia summer study programs available.
Applying for a Summer Study Abroad Program
The application process for these programs is similar to that used by most universities in North America. Applying for a summer study abroad program in the South Pacific typically involves completing an application form or forms. A copy of your official college transcripts will be required and typically a small fee is involved. References from faculty members of your home college or university are often required too. To ensure you have all the required materials on hand, fully research the requirements of any program in which you have interest.
Students find summer study abroad programs an experience rich in opportunities both academically and personally. Enrolling in a New Zealand or Australia summer term program makes the most of your time between full semesters and provides a once in a lifetime glimpse of your place in the world.

Reap the Benefits of a Degree Program Abroad !
June 13, 2008
Author: Susan Slobac
Whether working on a Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D, students can take advantage of expanded educational opportunities by enrolling in a degree program abroad. There are many options, including transferring credits already earned at your home university or working towards your full degree abroad.
Pursuing a degree program abroad carries benefits that extend beyond the academic. Students find the experience of studying in an international setting lends weight to their credentials making them more marketable when it comes time to search for employment.
In addition to career benefits, enrollment in a degree program abroad provides personal benefits not possible with domestically-based degree programs. In addition to classroom study, students are exposed to their host nation’s culture on a daily basis. This immersion has a profound impact on students’ perspectives that carries over into every aspect of their lives.
Why Study in Australia or New Zealand?
When pursuing a degree program abroad, it is critical for students to match their educational and career goals with a strong academic program. Universities in both Australia and New Zealand are internationally recognized for the quality of their programs as well as for the innovation of their teaching methods. In addition, those studying in New Zealand and Australia enjoy the widely-recognized diversity of their degree programs.
Students completing a degree in Australia or at a New Zealand university find the programs are internationally recognized and respected. This is extremely beneficial whether students elect to pursue post-graduate study or begin careers.
The Benefits of Enrolling in a New Zealand or Australia Degree Program
While most degree programs abroad provide academic and career benefits, choosing to study in New Zealand or Australia’s colleges carry additional benefits.
Educational systems in the South Pacific are keenly targeted. As a result, working toward a degree in Australia or New Zealand takes less time than in other countries. This intense approach allows students to focus on their chosen area of study with less emphasis on general electives. The typical New Zealand and Australia Bachelor’s degree takes three years to complete, for example.
In addition, less entrance exams are required to pursue a degree in Australia or New Zealand. An SAT or ACT is commonly required for entrance into a Bachelor’s program, however universities in the South Pacific do not require GRE entrance exams.
Finally, students find it actually costs less to pursue a degree in Australia as well as New Zealand. In addition to the less time consuming degree programs, these South Pacific nations offer a less expensive cost of living then North American nations.
