Proposed 2013 programs
With another year of study drawing to a close you might be thinking about subject selection for 2013.
As a CSU student you can combine overseas travel and study through a number of CSU Global opportunities. This can include participation in short term programs to various destinations worldwide.
The School of Computing and Mathematics is designing a 3 week study program in Malaysia in July next year. Through the program you will be immersed in the highest level of interaction in information technology business at the national level. You will not just look at computer hard disks but visit the factory that makes them. You will learn about business, interact with people and understand cultures as outlined by the Federal Government in the Asian Century concept. There will be places to visit, food to taste, sights to see and experiences to take in.
Eligible students will receive credit for their participation in the program through enrolment in an optional elective subject.

"Personally it benefitted me by providing me a positive experience and deepened my understanding and intercultural skills by meeting new people and interacting with different cultures and it was an amazing way to learn new knowledge from within the workplace. I will tell everyone of my amazing experience and encourage all students to attend a global program." Philippines Short term program participant 2012.

Internships

Australian citizens between 18 and 30 years of age are invited to complete an internship in Canada. You could gain valuable international work experience in Canada related to your field of study while exploring a new country and making new friends.
In a global economy being a highly skilled worker with international experience will make you more marketable and more competative in the global workplace.

At any time during the processing of your application, Citizenship and Immigration Canada may request additional information or documents to determine your admissibility.
