From France to Australia: A New Way to Learn at BROWNS Gold Coast

From France to Australia: A New Way to Learn at BROWNS Gold Coast

For one French graduate, finishing her Master’s degree and submitting her thesis in September marked not an ending, but the beginning of something entirely different.

Instead of continuing within the traditional academic framework, she chose to learn differently. To challenge herself in a new way. To step outside familiar systems and immerse herself in a global environment.

Her destination: BROWNS English Language School on the Gold Coast, Australia.

Here’s what Mathilde had to say about her experience (English):

“After completing my Master’s degree in France and submitting my thesis in September, I decided to continue my studies in a different way. To learn differently. To step outside the traditional academic framework. To immerse myself in a new environment.

It was with this in mind that I decided to go to Australia and enrol at BROWNS English Language School on the Gold Coast. An international school where students from all five continents come together, with diverse backgrounds, ages, and ambitions. With a demanding, immersive environment, entirely in English, every interaction becomes a genuine learning experience.

Arriving alone in such a distant country is not just a simple language immersion trip.

It’s an experience that requires adapting, connecting with others, and stepping outside of one’s comfort zone. Over the weeks, this experience taught me:

• openness to other ways of thinking and working,
• confidence in public speaking and intercultural communication,
• adaptability: the real kind, the kind that is built on experience.

An experience that goes beyond academic learning and enriches one’s ability to grow, collaborate, and envision oneself in international environments.”

Témoignage complet (Français):

Après la fin de mon Master et le rendu de mon mémoire en septembre, j’ai fait le choix de continuer mon cursus autrement. Apprendre différemment. Sortir du cadre académique classique. Me confronter à un nouvel environnement.

C’est dans cette logique que j’ai décidé de partir en Australie et d’intégrer BROWNS English Language School, à Gold Coast.
Une école internationale où se croisent des étudiants venus des cinq continents, aux parcours, âges et ambitions variés. Avec un cadre exigeant, immersif, entièrement en anglais, où chaque échange devient un véritable apprentissage.

Arriver seule dans un pays aussi loin, ce n’est pas un simple séjour linguistique.
C’est une expérience qui demande de s’adapter, d’aller vers les autres et de sortir de ses repères.
Au fil des semaines, cette expérience m’a appris :
• l’ouverture à d’autres façons de penser et de travailler,
• la confiance à l’oral et la communication interculturelle,
• l’adaptabilité : la vraie, celle qui se construit sur le terrain.

Une expérience qui dépasse l’apprentissage académique et enrichit durablement la manière d’évoluer, de collaborer et de se projeter dans des environnements internationaux.

Since 2003, BROWNS English Language School has delivered world-class English Language training to international students from around the world. More than 35,000 students from more than 100 nationalities have completed a BROWNS program, making BROWNS one of the leading private ELICOS providers in Australia for adults and young learners.
