Also, it provides services to those Australian universities that subscribe via an annual membership. In 1998, 32 of the 38 Australian universities are members.

Australian Higher Education, based on the British System of seminars and tutorials and self-directed study, provides North American students with a challenging and academically rigorous study experience. There is a wide variety of subjects and locations available for international students.
