Imagine studying in Queensland

Queensland schools are very popular amongst exchange students, no matter where they're from. And that's no wonder: this large state in the north-eastern corner of Australia has it all, with its tropical climate, stunning beaches, themed parks and lively coastal cities.

Queensland is also home to the famous Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system: if you like diving or snorkelling, and sea life in general, this is the perfect place to nurture your passions. But Queensland is not just about beaches and the ocean: away from the coast, you will be blown away by the vast Outback, with its dramatic scenery and endless roads through "the bush": red deserts, canyons, rainforests...

Queensland's capital, Brisbane, is a fast-growing, dynamic and liveable city of 2.5 million people. With its lush vegetation, lovely parks, free attractions and a hoist of cultural events and recreational opportunities, you'll quickly take to the relaxed and outdoorsy lifestyle of the locals.

Whether you're surfing on one of the famous coastal areas of Queensland, exploring a regional country town, chasing waterfalls through the many national parks, or marvelling at the wildlife in the ancient Daintree rainforest, Queensland will surprise you with its interesting combination of wild nature, adventure, and urban culture.
