Many students are currently reporting difficulties in obtaining a visa appointment for the USA - even though they would like to study there in the coming semester or already have a place. As there are no new solutions from the US State Department so far, GOstralia!-GOmerica! offers short-term and realistic alternatives for a semester abroad in the second half of 2025.
You can apply free of charge and without obligation for a semester at one of the following universities in Australia or Southeast Asia - many programmes are fully eligible for funding via Auslands-BAföG.
Available Universities:
Australia:
Southern Cross University (Gold Coast)
Deakin University (Melbourne)
Griffith University (Brisbane & Gold Coast)
Bond University (Gold Coast)
James Cook University (Townsville & Cairns)
UNSW (Sydney)
South East Asia:
RMIT University (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)
