Going down under with Volda University College
Thirty Volda University College students are doing their studies at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia this term.
The students are enrolled in VUC's Australian-Asian Studies Program. This program allows students to earn 30 VUC credits while attending classes and fulfilling course requirements at Griffith University's Queensland College of Arts campus, right in the heart of Brisbane. Later in the semester, the students will travel to Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Kyoto to learn about Japanese culture and society. The program offers many possibilities for independent research, and for travel too. Here, Volda students are pictured during their week's stay in the Outback town of Bourke, Australia.
If you would like to find out how to join the Australian-Asian Studies Program for the autumn 2010 term, send an email to Dr. Stephen Dougherty (stephend@hivolda.no), Howard Medland (howardm@hivolda.no), or Sylvi Gulla Hovdenakk (sgh@hivolda.no ).. You can also visit the Australian stand during International Day, Wednesday, Sept. 30.
