Australia: Brisbane
The Dickinson in Australia program, located at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, was founded as the Dickinson College University of Queensland Science Program. Students are either housed in apartments near the University or live like an Ozzie in one of several residential colleges on campus (kind of like Harry Potter for adults). The proximity to Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast beaches, a multi-day excursion to Sydney mid-way through the semester, and visits to historic and cultural sites around Brisbane during orientation make Dickinson in Australia a favorite.
Here is a list of some examples of health-related courses at the University of Queensland. Please note that the courses might not be offered the semester you attend, the courses might have prerequisites you do not have, and/or some courses require the permission of the instructor.
