Lina Briceno

Bachelor of Business

"Now I can say I am happy and satisfied with the experience and results I have gained from ACU National. I learned and grew both personally and professionally because of the university characteristics, students, lecturers and staff.

Being a small university, ACU National allowed us, the students, to know each other and have a closer and better relation with other students and lecturers."

Semester Abroad or Study Abroad Plus

Engage in a semester or a full academic year at one of our six campuses in the cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra or Ballarat.

Study-Internship Combination

ACU National will coordinate group study abroad programs for North American institutions that include a professional placement during the semester abroad. The International Internship is designed to allow North American Students to participate actively in an Australian work environment and to prepare them for entry into today's global society. The program encourages students to become an active participant in the host society and culture, with the internship forming a key component of this effort.
