Short term opportunities
AIM Overseas: UniSA works with
AIM Overseas to increase the number of international study options open to
students. These programs run during the summer and winter holidays. There
are a variety of courses available and run in addition to the short options
already offered by UniSA.
Programs run from 2-6 weeks and include study programs in most disciplines, language courses, leadership programs, volunteering experiences and internships. The overseas programs are always an excellent addition to any resume and you may be able to have such a program credited to your degree and receive a UniSA travel grant.
Some of the standout programs are an intensive 4 week leadership program in Prague, business courses in Paris, Berlin and Madrid, and international short courses at the University of Oxford.
A complete list of options, and further information, is available from the AIM Overseas website
