Welcome University of Sydney Students

CISaustralia is proud to support The University of Sydney and their students. CISaustralia and The University of Sydney signed a formal partnership agreement in 2015 and ever since have worked closely to send qualified students abroad, on many different programs to many different locations. This partnership enables students greater access to our overseas programs and ensures they have the best possible experience abroad! We are very proud of our close and long-standing partnership with The University of Sydney. We take great pleasure in providing high-quality customer service and in supporting both students and academic staff to develop long-term sustainable programs abroad, which are most importantly for academic credit.

Testimonials

[It’s] a magnificent program … everyone was so kind, [the staff] provide a lot of help and our local Japanese friends are also very kind too! … I love this program!

July in Tokyo, Japan

This program is one of the best experiences I have ever had and will remember for the rest of my life. I had so many incredible experiences on this trip that has made me grow as a person and become more confident. I met some amazing people from all over Australia and the world and was taught by successful people in industry who taught me so much. I would recommend this program to everyone as it is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed!

January in Los Angeles, USA at UCLA Extension

Great program. I had a once in a lifetime experience. Each activity was well planned and I enjoyed every single site and place was visited. The best part was going to all the different countries, experiencing new cultures and new people. Specifically Florence was incredible. That city was not on my bucket list to visit but turns out to be the best experience I had on the trip. Climbing the Duomo at sunset thanks to the organisation of the Professors made Florence even more spectacular. Thank you for such an amazing experience! I wish I could do it again!

January in France, Italy and Greece

I had a blast and it was one of the best experiences of my life, so definitely consider doing it! I loved the entire experience. Living and studying there for three weeks was a good way to get to know London, which I loved. [It] is such an amazing city. I also really enjoyed my classes, getting to know other people in the program and the excursions and tours. This was the first time I’ve really lived by myself in a foreign place I’m entirely unfamiliar with, so that was a challenge. I feel it has helped me grow as a person to become more independent and responsible.

July in London, England

The living environment of the local people in the local rural areas made impressive experiences to me. The local school environment was simple and original. I felt happy and grateful to have such an opportunity to experience the rural life and help the local people who really need help. It’s a great and meaningful program and you get so much fun from the trip.

Teaching and Community Development in Cambodia

Go for it. The people you meet and the places you go are amazing.

January in Italy, France, the Netherlands and Czech Republic

No need to hesitate. Just hop in. [The best parts were] making friends with awesome people, traveling around LA and great accommodation.

January in Los Angeles, USA at UCLA Extension

I recommend to participate in this program. The studying experience was excellent, education in America is quite different from Australia. Being able to feel it by myself is a rare opportunity.

January in Los Angeles, USA at UCLA Extension

The best part of the program was the experiences I was able to gain through business visits and working on pitches for subjects I never thought I would be able to do. It allowed me to find out new and hidden talents within myself that I didn’t realise I had.

Industry Immersion Program – New York City, USA

I have learned and improved many skills through this program and it also help me to build up my resume. Great experience!
