CISaustralia specialises in the design, development, and implementation of Customised Group Programs. With the CISaustralia January intake in London, study in England’s bustling capital at the only parkland campus in a central London borough: the University of Roehampton.
From the grandeur of Buckingham Palace and Big Ben to the vibrant streets of Notting Hill, Camden Market, and Trafalgar Square, London becomes your classroom. Over two exciting weeks, you'll combine academic learning with cultural exploration, gaining valuable international experience while earning academic credit.
Beyond the classroom, you'll enjoy the best of London through included cultural activities, explore world-renowned museums and landmarks, and experience a truly global city known for its history, diversity, creativity, and innovation. With easy access to the rest of the UK and Europe, your London adventure can extend far beyond the city itself.

Lucinda - 2019
I feel as though I am much more confident in myself, and my abilities to navigate new places. I feel as though personally this experience has given me better social skills when talking to people from very different places. The course I undertook touched on several sensitive topics such as race relations, immigration and how many things are portrayed in the media, and even though it was not directly linked to my study area.
