Program Introduction
During the four-week study abroad program, students choose from the English schools affiliated with four (national) universities in Victoria, Australia, according to their preferences, and study in the government-approved “Intensive English Course for International Students (ELICOS)” held locally.
My classmates are other international students from all over the world. Excursions are also held on weekends (for an additional fee).
Depending on the school, you can participate in buddy programs that interact with local students or volunteer programs that teach Japanese at local elementary schools.
Melbourne, which was ranked “World’s Most Livable City!” for seven consecutive years until 2017, attracts students from around the globe, following London, New York, and Paris, allowing visitors to experience a variety of exotic cultures. Australia also has a tradition of providing English education to many immigrants and thousands of international students visiting annually from 115 countries and regions worldwide, and its professional and excellent English education is globally acclaimed.
