Study Tours

YouSTUDY International College has been hosting study tour groups of all ages and nationalities for nearly 30 years, and our experienced staff can put together an enjoyable and effective program for your group that will allow your students to improve their English and learn about Australian culture and traditions’

What is a Study Tour?

Study Tours are unique educational experiences focused on study and cultural immersion ranging from a few days to a few weeks while exploring everything that beautiful tropical Cairns has to offer.

Tours can be customised to meet diverse group needs. Programs can include a variety of interactive College or local school-based activities, and a wide variety of educational excursions to improve students English and experience ‘the Australian way of life’

For groups more academically focused, opportunities can be provided to visit local businesses and find out the ‘back story of how the business’ is run, this is popular with the tourism, hospitality and agricultural sectors.

Why choose Cairns for a Study Tour?

Easy access to the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Rainforest

Many groups choose to take excursions outside of the city, and we can easily arrange for your students to explore the reef, take a trip on the historic Kuranda train or experience the local beaches and rainforest. The Cairns region has a wide variety of amazing attractions for groups to enjoy

Our staff can put together a study program specifically designed to meet your needs, regardless of whether you want to explore the Great Barrier Reef, experience the local wildlife, or achieve a specific academic objective or exam score.

Flexible scheduling

Our program schedules can be designed to suit the needs of your students and your schedule.  Older students (16 years and above) have the option of being integrated into our mainstream classes, allowing them to experience studying with different cultures.

Compact city close to major tourist attractions

Our school is conveniently located on the edge of the Cairns central business district and is within easy walking distance of a wide range of local attractions and sightseeing spots.

Network of friendly homestay families within easy reach of school
