International Students

Australia is one of the most sought after travel locations and an ideal location for experiencing a formal education. For those who decided to combine travelling experiences with completing a degree in Australia, the experience remains long after returning home.

The program at Campion College is modelled on Catholic institutions overseas and is thus the natural choice for Catholic liberal arts college students wishing to complete part of their studies abroad. Study Abroad students will potentially be able to undertake either a semester or a year of study in Sydney.

International students contribute to the quality of the intellectual and social life of Campion College, by adding to the diversity of ideas and cultural activities. Owing to the fact that the student community at Campion College is tight-knight, international students to come to know the student body very well. Campion College welcomes international students from everywhere around the world.
