Global Environmental Sustainability studies for Science and Life Science students
The Global Environmental Sustainability Project - GESP – is a unique three-year mobility program with partners in Europe and Australia.
During the three years, a total of 32 EU students, including 8 students from the Faculties of Science and Life Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, will get the opportunity to study in Australia for one semester.
The University of Dundee and James Cook University are pleased to announce a new undergraduate student mobility project, funded through the Australian Federal Government- Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the European Union. This project provides a mechanism to share best practice between Australian and the European Union (EU) universities, and to improve global understanding of the importance of environmental sustainability issues.
The Project Partners are offering funding to eligible students to spend either one semester or a full academic year at a partner University in either the European Union or Australia.
Long-term outcomes arising from this project could include joint undergraduate, Masters and/or PhD programmes, and joint Training and Professional Development Programmes between the participating universities in the EU and Australia, as well as joint research programmes.
Studying overseas is an excellent way to experience different cultures and international perspectives, meet new people, as well as offering study in areas that may not be available in the home institution. It is also an asset on job applications after graduation.
This unique student exchange program will build on existing international expertise in the diverse and dynamic field of Environmental Sustainability at our leading EU institutions and three leading Australian institutions: James Cook University (Queensland), University of Tasmania (Tasmania) and Flinders University (Adelaide).
Application date: 1 March 2012 for studies in Australia in the autumn of 2012.
