Gap Year Programs

Australian borders reopen

Gap Year Programs give students the ultimate study-travel experience!  Sydney Australia is one of the most popular destination for international students.

You can visit new places, meet new people and experience new adventures while you improve your English or gain a qualification such as a Diploma. If you are already studying, then why not top up your international experience with an academic qualification?

An ICMS Gap Year Program gives you the benefits of living in one of the most spectacular cities in the world, without having to delay your studies.

Why Australia is a great destination to take a Gap Year Program

  • Australian’s speak English; and English is the universal business language.
  • International students who study in Australia are permitted to work while they study.
  • Wages in Australia are generally higher and unemployment levels are generally lower than those in many other countries.
  • Australia is a great place to study as there are many avenues of support for international students.
  • Studying in Australia means meeting global standards of education quality.
  • Australian is a multicultural, tolerant and diverse country and Australian are proud of their friendly and welcoming global reputation.
  • There’s something Australians are known around the world for – that’s their amazing lifestyle.
  • Planning a gap year takes a lot of paperwork and effort and can often turn out to be a lonely experience. But at ICMS you can live with your classmates in a ‘castle’ overlooking “Australia’s Best Beach” (TripAdvisor) and enjoy all the fun of a gap year – without all the hassle.

ICMS Gap Year Programs are ideal for high school graduates seeking a transformative intellectual adventure before they go to College or pursue a future career path.

Australian Students can enjoy a Gap Year Program too

Australian students love to travel too. That’s why some summer-loving domestic students chose to start their studies in trimester one (February intake) and take trimester two off to go to Europe in the European summer. This gives them the opportunity to travel five months of the year.
