For over 40 years, AIFS has offered more than 1.2 million students to take their academic credit to dozens of cities around the world. Students study at Macquarie University with a Pacific Life and Culture Studies program in the University of Fiji. This will give them the chance to study and experience living in major cities, travel, and immerse in cultural activities.

By including your tuition, housing, meals, airfare and cultural activities in one guaranteed price, AIFS makes it simple for you to live and study in Sydney and experience all that this energetic and cosmopolitan city "down under" has to offer.

Highlights

Sydney's energetic city life centers around its magnificent harbor. Sydney-siders are known for their relaxed and welcoming attitude and remarkably multicultural population. Cosmopolitan and easy to get around, Sydney is a spacious, sunny city surrounded by spectacular national parks, unspoiled bushland and 100 miles of coastline.

Start off your journey with an 11-day Pacific Studies Program at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji. This program includes several field trips including a day trip to Beachcomber Island and a visit to Kula Bird Park.

Continue on to the land down-under where you will attend Macquarie University in Sydney for the duration of the semester. With a wide array of courses offered you can fulfill your major requirements or take advantage of special programs in Aboriginal or Australian studies.

Get to sample the local flavor with included cultural activities such as visits to the Blue Mountains, Sydney Opera House, Taronga Zoo and an Australian Football Game.
