Sydney Educational Tours (SET) offers study tours with English language tuition at leading Australian universities, TAFE (Technical and Further Education) Colleges and private secondary schools.

School visits/study tours by overseas students are undertaken for the purpose of meeting Australian students, teachers and other professional educators as part of educational and cultural programs.

Participation in study tours:
