Dear list members,
The University of Tasmania Buddhist Studies in India Exchange
Program will again be running a Summer School unit to be held in
India from late 28 December 2006 - 31 January 2007. The Exchange
program, administered under the direction of the School of
Philosophy, counts as a 25% credit unit at the University of
Tasmania and involves students in an intensive month long study
program conducted by staff from the Central Institute of Higher
Tibetan Studies at Sarnath just outside Varanasi.
University of
Tasmania staff travel with the group and supervise the overall
program. The costs of travel, insurance, accommodation and
meals, as well as visits to important historic and cultural
sites, are included in the overall cost of the program (up to
$4,000), although applicants should note that the unit also
incurs a HECS charge. The minimum requirement for admission into
the program is completion of first-year studies at any
Australian University.
Interested applicants should contact the Sandra Kellett,
Executive Officer at the School of Philosophy at the University
of Tasmania (email: kellett@utas.edu.au - Ph: 03 6226 7581) no later than 31
August 2006.
This is a unique opportunity to learn more about Indo-Tibetan
Philosophy, History and Culture as well as the chance to
experience a radically different cultural environment.

AABS Executive
