Voorgeschiedenis In het derde jaar van de ALO sprak ik iemand uit mijn klas die van plan was om het laatste half jaar van het vierde jaar, de zogenaamde differentiatiestage, in Nieuw-Zeeland te gaan lopen. Vanaf dat moment is bij mij ook het idee ontstaan dat ik in het buitenland mijn stage wilde lopen of de ALO wilde afronden. In eerste instantie wilde ik naar Canada, maar toen ik met de buitenlandcoordinator van de ALO, Huib van de Kop sprak, vertelde hij dat de ALO net een uitwisselingscontract had opgesteld met Australie. Australie klonk ook erg interessant en omdat er een contract bestond, zou het makkelijker zijn om mijn trip naar Australie te regelen. Althans, dat dacht ik. |

Protocol Studying at the University of Newcastle, by Esthertje Have you decided if you really want to study at the University of Newcastle? Congratulations! Well, now you would like to know what steps you have to take. Okay, let us see: 1. IELTS test First of all, you have to take an English test. The University wants to know if you understand the English language. This test can be taken at British Language Training Centre in Amsterdam. You have to take the IELTS test, and choose for the Academic module. The costs of this test are Euro 160,-. Unfortunately, a good mark for English at HAVO or VWO-level is not enough. The University wants the results of the IELTS test. Contact details of the BLTC: Oxford House N.Z. Voorburgwal 328 E 1012 RW Amsterdam Tel #: 020 622 3634 Fax #: 020 6264962 E-mail: bltc@bltc.nl Homepage: www.bltc.nl You also can take the TOEFL test, but I do not have much information about that test. The University of Newcastle also accepts the results of the TOEFL test. What I have heard about the TOEFL test, is that you will have less time for the writing part, than with the IELTS test. 2. Courses Find out which courses you would like to follow. You can choose four courses. The courses for Bachelor of Teaching/Health and Physical Education can be found at: http://ccdb.newcastle.edu.au/courseinfo/displayprogram.cfm?docid=219&FOS=5&UGPG=13 3. Study Abroad Application Form Fill in the Study Abroad Application Form. You can find this form at this web page: http://www.newcastle.edu.au/study/international/facilities/study_abrd_form.htm Important dates: January (Trimester 1) must ensure that their application form reaches the University before 15 November in the preceding year.

Student Visa Have you received a letter or email with the Confirmation of Enrolment? Then you have to apply for a student visa. You can only get your student visa via the internet. You do not have to go to the Australian Embassy in The Hague. If you need help with your student visa, you can contact them of course.

Buy your ticket The last important thing you have to do, is buying your flight ticket. Check the internet, check travel agencies for cheap tickets. A useful web page is: |

Ik heb de uitslag van de IELTS test meteen op de bus gedaan en toen was het wachten, wachten, wachten. De Kerstvakantie zat er ook tussen. Ik werd steeds ongeduldiger natuurlijk. Voor je het weet, is het februari. Visum En dan heb je je visum... Bijna rond dus. Vliegticketje regelen en op 9 februari 2004, 12.00 uur, ga ik vliegen! Joehoe, Oz, I'm coming! |
