Our program in Australia takes place in
Australian Catholic University. Australia is a large country with a
relatively small population of 20 million. The majority of people
live in the main cities along the east coast. Australians generally
are friendly and informal. The safe environment and comfortable
climate provide many opportunities to enjoy both the beauty of the
countryside and beaches and the amenities of modern
cities.
Australian Catholic University is a
public university, open to all, funded by the Australian government
as a member of the Unified National System of Higher Education.
This means its awards are equivalent to those of other public
universities in Australia and are so recognized. It has almost 14,
000 students, including international students from 75 countries,
who enjoy the supportive environment expected of a Catholic
institution. Many students of other beliefs attend the
University.
ACU comprises six campuses in Brisbane,
Sydney (2), Canberra, Melbourne and Ballarat. Because the
University's students are attending seven campuses in eastern
Australia, each campus is small enough to allow for a close working
relationship between students and teachers, and smaller classes
enable academic staff to give individual attention to
students.
The small classes and the caring culture
of a Catholic institution combine to provide a friendly,
enthusiastic environment for teaching and learning and for
development of the individual. A strong ethics content in courses
encourages a high standard of professional conduct.
In some courses, it is possible for
students to study at more than one campus and thus experience a
variety of Australian cities and lifestyles.
As an exchange program, students pay St.
John's tuition and fees for full time study. The student pays
all other costs directly to Australia Catholic
University.
