Australia
Program Highlights:
Nazareth's partnership with Australian Catholic University (ACU) offers a choice of study at one of four campuses: Brisbane, Melbourne, North Sydney and Strathfield. Each campus allows a close working relationship between students and faculty, with smaller classes enabling academic staff to give individual attention to students. In addition, students have the opportunity to undertake professional placements and volunteer work experiences in their field of study. There are also boundless opportunities to get involved in campus life with fellow International students and locals Australians as well.
ACU offers a wide range of courses in the following disciplines: arts and sciences, humanities, religious studies, business and marketing, education, and social sciences.
