Short‐Term Study Abroad - UCLA Extension

Short‐Term Study Abroad - UCLA Extension

Spend six weeks this summer studying at UCLA Extension – in vibrant Los Angeles (LA), California. Enjoy a beautiful, global campus with state-of-the-art amenities, including multiple gyms, pools, cafes and restaurants – all surrounded by LA’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Escape the heat and wet Australian summer weather for a warm, dry Southern California ‘winter’.

Also known as the UCLA Division of Continuing Education, UCLA Extension offers a wide variety of professional development courses and programs for people who want to advance their careers, explore new career options, and enrich their personal lives.

On this six-week January program specifically designed by UCLA Extension for Australian students, participants enjoy all that UCLA Extension and Los Angeles have to offer, while choosing from a range of courses that align with the Australian university summer break. UCLA receives more student applications than any other university in the USA – arguably the world! Students will take classes primarily or exclusively with other Australian university students, but will have the opportunity to meet full time UCLA students by walking around the beautiful campus.
