BRISBANESYDNEY

BRISBANEBrisbane, the third largest city in Australia, is a sleek, international city in the east, just north of the Gold Coast. You will fall in love with its year-round, warm subtropical climate and the beautiful Brisbane River that curves gently through the heart of the city. The friendly, down-to-earth locals will help you feel safely at home among world-class art galleries, a booming live music scene and cool café culture.

ILSC-Brisbane campus overlooks a lovely park, only two minutes from Central Railway Station. The student lounge opens out onto a protected, enclosed terrace, where students can take breaks and eat lunch, and where teachers run special activities that encourage student interaction and communication.

SYDNEYSydney is Australia’s oldest, largest and most diverse city, with a population of over four million people. This vibrant, cosmopolitan city is a popular tourist destination with a huge range of sightseeing options.
