SIT Study Abroad: Australia: Sustainability and Environmental Action

Australia has stunning and diverse natural environments, from flourishing rainforests to vast deserts and mountain ranges full of unique plants and wildlife. In Byron Bay, Tasmania, and Melbourne, you will learn about climate, geology, soils, and flora and fauna, as well as the area’s human history and culture. From your base two blocks from the beach in a small coastal town, you’ll explore Australia’s burgeoning permaculture and sustainable farming initiatives

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"It's hard to convey just how much I learned on this program. From the field trips to the courses to the Independent Study Period, I have been exposed to the tools I need to make meaningful change in my own life and the world, with regard to both sustainability and personal growth. The program struck a good balance between academic support and independence. I could not have chosen a better program to pursue my own ideas within."
