About the Program
As the world's smallest continent and largest island, Australia is a place like no other. In this country that is almost as big as the contiguous United States, you will find dazzling coastlines, rugged outback, bustling cities, and rainforests.
Wollongong is located about 90 minutes south of Sydney and offers proximity to the mountains and beach. With a stunning natural environment, thriving industry, and blend of big and small city characteristics, it is an ideal place to study. Consistently ranked as one of Australia's top universities, the University of Wollongong offers top-quality programs, individualized attention, and an inviting campus filled with streams, gardens, and wildlife.
