We highly recommend that students apply through Butler's Institute for Study Abroad, which provides assistance with applications, housing, course selection, and transcripts for either semester (Feb-July, July-November). Students wishing to apply directly to a university should check with Carolyn Sorkin or Gail Winter.

Students who take medication for chronic health conditions should refer to the Australian Government's website to read the most current information on laws covering the kinds and quantities of medications that can be brought into Australia.

Good upper division sciences especially environmental sciences. Music and visual arts programs are very strong, but admission requires a portfolio, and is full year only.
• University of Tasmania (Hobart): Strong in visual and studio arts, environmental studies, geology
• University of Melbourne: Performing arts, economics, history and cultural studies, classical and Near Eastern studies. Good film studies, but access to film courses cannot be guaranteed due to the popularity of this course of study by degree-seeking students.
