Featured Program Showcase

CAMBODIA: International Business MBA

MBA students from Edith Cowan University and the School of Business and Law participated in an International Business Study Tour to Cambodia. The tour provided students with hands-on exposure to social enterprises, NGOs, and local businesses, alongside culturally immersive experiences including a village stay and a community development project. Students spent time in both urban and rural settings, gaining a well-rounded understanding of Cambodia’s cultural, social, and business environments. The experience supported the development of cross-cultural awareness, critical thinking, and an understanding of global business challenges and trends.

JAPAN: Business

Students from Macquarie University and the Macquarie Business School participated in a study tour in Japan focused on business analysis. In collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University, students worked in teams to address real-world business challenges. They applied analytical methodologies to evaluate complex problems, developed practical solutions both individually and collaboratively, and presented their findings to diverse stakeholders through written and oral presentations. The program offered valuable hands-on experience, strengthened teamwork and communication skills, and deepened students’ understanding of contemporary business practice within an international context.

INDONESIA & SINGAPORE: Architecture

Students from the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Queensland University of Technology participated in a study tour focused on culturally immersive architectural experiences in Indonesia and Singapore. The tour included collaborative projects with Universitas Indonesia, visits to local architecture firms, and guided city tours. In Singapore, students took part in walking tours, gallery visits, and a cultural cooking experience. The study tour was completed for academic credit as part of unit ABB301 and supported the development of critical problem-solving, reflective practice, and cross-cultural capabilities essential for emerging professionals.

SINGAPORE: Architecture

Western Sydney University students from the School of Engineering, Design & Built Environment, participated in a study tour exploring architectural projects and public housing in Singapore. The program introduced students to Singapore’s unique Housing & Development Board (HDB) housing models, modern architecture, and urban planning. Students documented recurring spatial patterns in HDB developments, focusing on shared and interstitial spaces that challenge conventional notions of public and private—material that contributed to an exhibition at Western Sydney University. The tour offered hands-on insight into the intersection of design, social policy, and cultural context in contemporary housing.

Testimonials

At Flinders University we actively encourage our students and academics to engage with CISaustralia and their programs. We have been highly impressed with not only the value and academic integrity that these programs offer our students, but the seamless way in which CISaustralia collaborate with and support our students, academics and professional staff.

- Larissa Pearce, Flinders University, Manager, Learn Without Borders

The University of Wollongong has been working with CISaustralia since late 2014. CISaustralia organises the logistics of the study tour, including flights, accommodation and bus transfers… Participants of the study tour report overwhelmingly positive feedback about their experience. The CIS staff members, who accompany the group throughout the tour are always professional, considerate and contribute greatly to the smooth running of the study tour. Overall, the professionalism of the CISaustralia team make them a pleasure to work with, and they deliver a well organised study tour for our students.

- Sean Lu, University of Wollongong, Faculty of Business

This will be the fourth year I have worked together with CISaustralia in organising a student study tour to Italy as part of an education degree. Over this time, I have found CIS fabulous to work with. Every detail of the tour is well planned and organised in response to the needs of the University course. Students have found the experience to be life changing – both professionally and personally, with so many different learning experiences encountered at every turn. I have no hesitation in recommending CISaustralia to anyone considering engaging in study tours. I certainly would not try to do this without them, and I am looking forward to continuing the partnership in the years to come.

- Dr Nicole Leggett, University of Newcastle, School of Education

CISaustralia did an excellent job in organising a 2 week study tour for QUT law and justice students to Cambodia in July 2017. Jane and the team were highly professional, efficient and very responsive to our requests. The focus of the study tour was child protection and human rights so Jane researched a range of relevant organisations and NGOs for the students to visit, as well as organising guest lectures and cultural activities. She also managed all the time-consuming travel and accommodation logistics! The in-country assistance provided by Samantha was exceptional. She had good local knowledge and was an invaluable mentor to our students and support for the academic supervisor. We were very satisfied with our CISaustralia experience and will definitely work with them again in the future.

- Catherine Campbell, Queensland University of Technology, Law and Justine

Coordinating an academic Study Tour program can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. It can also be stressful and time consuming. Having the support of CIS throughout all phases of the planning, the Study Tour itself, and then in reviewing the program takes a lot of pressure off the overall workload. I have found CIS to be professional and positive, responsive to feedback, flexible, and personable. CIS is a cost-effective solution to organising an overseas Study Tour and the team works hard to ensure all arrangements are as requested. The OPC creates a welcoming environment for all students, an important aspect to consider as many students are travelling overseas and/or outside their family for the first time. CIS has the local knowledge on best companies to contact for transport, accommodation, and other logistics; I am comfortable travelling with the plans provided by CIS and feel assured that nothing is being left to chance. When things don’t turn out the way they have been planned, as can be the case when traveling internationally, CIS can think quickly to sort out alternative options and put them in place with a minimum of fuss. CIS is a quality company that are a delight to work with. I am currently planning my fifth Study Tour with CIS, and due to our great working relationship, the annual Study Tour is sure to continue into the future.
