About the Program: An Overview
Santa Clara launched its law and technology program at UTS in Sydney in 2004. The program is approved by the American Bar Association.
"There are not enough great things I can say about the Sydney abroad program. The professors were great: welcoming and warm, not to mention the foremost experts in their respective fields. The courseload was a perfect amount — enough to keep us interested in learning, but not overwhelming. Taking classes in the morning meant having afternoons free to take in the beautiful sights of the city. I met amazing people whom I'm sure I will keep in touch with, and had a chance to travel to the Great Barrier Reef and Fiji on weekends. I participated in the internship portion, working at Amnesty International for four weeks where I got practical, hands on experience. There is no better way I could have spent my summer!" Serinna Jenab, SCU (2007)
"I had the most wonderful, life fulling experience in Sydney. It opened my mind . . . I got to meet a variety of attorneys there and intern at Coca Cola Company. I got to hug kangaroos and koalas, go snowboarding in New Zealand, meet wonderful people from all over the world, visit the most beautiful beaches in the world. I would do it again in a heartbeat!" Ann Guyen, SCU (2005)
