TOWNSVILLE-CAIRNS, Center for (CGE) AUSTRALIA Global Education TOWNSVILLE AND CAIRNS AUSTRALIA

ABOUT THE REGION Northern Queensland is well known for embracing a relaxed tropi- cal lifestyle. The cities of Townsville and Cairns, where JCU's main campuses are located, are popular destinations for visitors with modern facilities and vibrant, multicultural populations not usually found outside of capital cities with Indigenous, European and Asian communities. Of course, the Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests and tropical beaches are all there to explore. The outback is just as accessible and provides opportunities to experience the Australia of legend. THE PROGRAM HWS offers an exchange program at James Cook University, a large research university, ranked among the best in Australia. JCU is spread over three campus- es in northern Queensland, with most students studying in either Townsville or Cairns. Townsville is the administrative hub for northern Queensland and a step- ping off point for the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is a coastal city in the rainfor- est region. With many international students studying at JCU, you will experi- ence a unique international and cross-cultural learning environment on either campus, sharing the community with students from more than 100 countries. This exchange program is designed to provide students in the sciences with the op- portunity for rigorous study in a full-immersion context. Note: this program runs on a “southern hemisphere” calendar, meaning July—November for fall and February—July for spring.

COURSES HWS students will take four courses at JCU, chosen from an extensive range of subject areas within all or any of the sciences, with opportunities for electives in other areas of study. As a major research university known for its field and labor- atory facilities, the curriculum serves students in the sciences particularly well (note: priority will be given to students whose academic needs can’t be met in the Queensland, Australia program.) JCU is a large university and students will often enroll in classes that have 100-200 students. The faculty assume that students are independent learners and while they are accessible to students needing assistance, the onus is on the student to seek help when appropriate. Grading standards are rigorous and tend to weigh heavily on one or two exams rather than being Research on Townsville Campus distributed over a larger number of small assignments. For course information go to the CGE webpage for Townsville and Cairns http://www.hws.edu/academics/global/cairns.aspx and click on the courses link.

ACADEMIC FOCUS This program is intended for students in the sciences, particularly those whose academic needs can’t be met in the Queensland, Australia program.

ELIGIBILITY This program is open to all juniors and seniors majoring in one of the sciences in good academic and social standing with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Exchange opportunities depend on the availability of slots at the host institution and often are limited to just one or two per semester. Due to the challenging nature of study abroad, student academic and discipli- nary records will be carefully screened.

ACCOMMODATIONS Students live in residence halls on campus in Townsville, or adjacent to campus in Cairns, usually with other international students. In most residences, students have their own bedroom in a 2 to 4-bedroom self-contained apartment. Students cook for themselves in the shared kitchen and/or eat at one of the many campus cafeterias. Campus residences have phones and internet access (although there is a fee). Check out this link to see the different residence hall options: http://www.jcu.edu.au/accommodation/.
