The upskill approach
This semester abroad offers a rigorous and enriching academic experience alongside fellow emerging researchers and aspiring scientists from around the world. We believe that cross-cultural knowledge exchange is essential to the future of marine ecosystem conservation. Through this program, you will have the opportunity to engage directly with local experts and communities, contribute meaningfully to field-based research, and build connections that support your development as a scientist, researcher, or environmental advocate.
The future is in the hands of those who explore… and from all the beauty they discover while crossing perpetually receding frontiers, they develop for nature and for humankind an infinite love.
– Jacques Cousteau

Health and Safety Systems

Student briefing
At the start of each semester and prior to every field trip, all students receive comprehensive briefings on relevant risks and safety protocols.
Emergency Action Plans
With decades of experience supporting international students in Bali, we provide documented emergency guidelines and a list of nearby hospitals, which are shared during student briefings.
24-hrs Emergency Support
