Youre On The Path to Success

Education abroad brings with it a career advantage

when students are able to articulate how, through their

international experience, they have developed value-added

knowledge, skills, and abilities required by an employer.

Survey research demonstrates that many employers whether

a private company or an international Non-Governmental

Organization (NGO) value the intellectual and personal

assets developed through study abroad.

- Martin Tillman, national leader on Career Development and Education Abroad

Laying the GroundworkStudy abroad has laid the groundwork for many successful careers in industries ranging from technology and sciences to education, media and communications, according to some of CEA Global Educations own alumni. Recent polls show more employers are increasingly seeking

out graduates with the kind of skills that come from successful international experiences.

What skills can study abroad add to your resume?

Foreign language proficiency

Ability to navigate multicultural differences in a workplace setting

Comfortable with diverse, unfamiliar and changing environments

Ability to work independently and with minimal direction or oversight

So you see, the benefits of study abroad dont end when you return to campus. Thats when things are just getting started! Study

abroad can be the first step to a lifelong journey of learning and exploration, and a leap ahead of other candidates competing for

careers in a global job market.

Experience CairnsOne of Australias most popular tourist destinations, Cairns welcomes more than two million visitors each year to its spectacular natural attractions, including the Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests, rivers and waterfalls, crater lakes, national parks, hinterland regions and the coastal resort towns of Port Douglas and Mission Beach. A diverse population of 140,000, Cairns is much smaller than Sydney (CEAs other Australian destination) and offers much for the outdoor-loving student.

These special environments provide living laboratories for your studies. When you add the lower cost of living and the friendly Queensland lifestyle, it is easy to see why Cairns is a popular destination for students from around the globe. Main industries in Cairns include tourism, shipping and agriculture. Engage in your surroundings with courses that take you out of the classroom and give you hands-on experience with the laid-back Australian lifestyle and surrounding natural beauty.

Sydney: A Student Perspective

Sarah Maynard: Time flies faster than you think, so dont wait to make plans for big trips or nights out. Research some specific items you would like to do before you get to Australia, that will make it easier to keep from missing out on things. Enjoy as much of the country as possible. And most of all, have fun!

Joe Reinke: CEA was great! The kids in my building were always jealous that our program had trips planned every weekend and their program just dropped them off and said Have a good time. While youre there, dont waste a minute sitting around the TV. Theres always something to do and good people to explore with.

Ellen Skow: CEAs program was well organized and they helped me through the whole process of studying abroad. My advice:

Immerse yourself in the culture, make new friends, and try new things. Opportunities like this dont last forever:

jump on the chance while you still can!

The countrys topography ranges from the Andes Mountains and arid deserts to sandy beaches and lakes. Via del Mar also offers easy access to Chiles many natural wonders, including the beautiful coast.

CEA Global Education has strategically partnered with the University of Via del Mar, which is well-known for being on the forefront of internationalization at home. Full curriculum and language programs alike attract international students from Europe, Canada, the U.S., and other Latin American countries. CEA students of all language levels have access to a wide range of language and culture courses through the universitys international office (OIIE).

Recognized by the Chilean Ministry of Education as a degree-granting institution of higher learning

If you love sun, sand, and surf, you will love Via del Mar. This beautiful city is known for its relaxing atmosphere and beautiful beaches. The warm Mediterranean-style climate has earned the city the nickname the Chilean Riviera. It also is referred to as the Orange County of Chile because of all the high-rise condos, American style homes, and surfing enthusiasts located along a seaside highway not unlike the Pacific Coast Highway.

There are so many amazing beaches in Via del Mar, it will be hard to decide which to visit. The large selection of restaurants and shops along the sidewalk make Playa Renaca one of the more popular beaches. If you enjoy swimming, the calm waters of Playa Cochoa and Playa Caleta Abarca make these beaches ideal. Travel farther away from the center of the city and enjoy unique and less crowded beaches like La Serena, which is famous for its black sand.

If you are in Via del Mar during the third week of February, you wont want to miss the International Song Festival, the most popular music festival in Latin America. This fun and exciting event began 51 years ago as a platform for emerging stars to showcase their talent. The format of the event has shifted from a traditional musical festival to more of an awards show. There is a pop song and folk song competition, where the audience, known as The Monster, decides through their reaction of cheering or booing if the performer wins an award or is taken off stage. International music stars from around the world entertain the audience between the competitive performances. Some stars who have performed in the past include Journey, Nelly Furtado and Earth, Wind & Fire.

With a long history of trade as Chinas leading port town, Shanghai is considered a golden land of opportunity for many Chinese in the 21st Century. Its young, trendsetting population is known for its fascination with everything hip, and ultra-modern, but the citys colonial past is not hard to find as you explore its many green spaces, park bridges and interlocking canals.

Shanghai is the ideal place to observe the making of Chinas future first-hand. Its economy once based primarily on fishing and textiles, today the city has flourished as an important center of commerce between the East and West, and has become a multinational hub of finance and industry.

A Cultural Perspective: Pudong District and Old Town Shanghai

The Pudong district is home to iconic Oriental Pearl Tower, and many other modern buildings. Prior to 1990 the Pudong area was mainly countryside and farmland. Now it is a major financial hub and home to trendy restaurants and night clubs. Pudong is just one example of how quickly Shanghai is modernizing. Beyond Shanghais contemporary buildings and up and coming technology, you will find Old Town Shanghai, a town relatively unaltered by Shanghais rapid modernization. Enclosed in 1555 by a wall to protect it from Japanese pirates, today the path of these walls is preserved by a circle of streets constructed after the walls demolition in 1911.

As a CEA student you will be taken on a guided walking tour through Old Town passing by busy lively markets, ancient architecture, and locals playing cards. Search for the perfect souvenirs to bring home to family and friends at the Yuyuan Bazaar. Enjoy the beauty of the Wenmiao Temple, the only Confucian Temple left in Shanghai. Dont miss seeing the beautiful gardens, a perfect place to read a book or sip tea. Experience the old world feel of this unique town and discover why Old Town is considered the Shanghai of the Chinese, not the foreigners.

Experience PragueServing as a major economic and cultural center of the Czech Republic, Prague is a modern city that still retains the original allure of a former age. The Velvet Revolution of November 1989 saw the overthrow of the communist regime. On January 1, 1993, the Czechoslovak state was peacefully divided and the independent Czech and Slovak Republics were founded. The formerly centralized state system has since been transformed into a parliamentary democracy and market economy, with the Czech Republic joining the European Union on May 1, 2004.

Today you can walk to school every morning through a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the Baroque Mala Strana quarter, Anglo-American University offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in both a Czech and international higher education setting. Participate in AAU activities, sports and clubs, or explore the city with new friends. Dont forget to check out the Strahov Monastery, Petrin, or the cubist House of the Black Madonna.
