If you can't do a student exchange at one of our partner universities, you can study for a semester or year at another international university of your own choosing.

When you've decided where to go, you’ll plan your study program with your chosen university and apply directly to them. You'll also pay your tuition fees to your host university.

At ºÚÁÏÍø, we'll support you by giving you credit towards your degree (with prior approval) and by covering you with our travel insurance.

Where you choose to go for your overseas study adventure is up to you. Our only requirement is that you choose a university in a host country that has a risk rating of Level 2 or below ('Exercise normal safety precautions' or 'Exercise a high degree of caution').

Choosing your own international university to study at is an option if you:

• are enrolled at ºÚÁÏÍø
• have successfully completed 24 credit points of undergraduate study with a GPA of 4.5 or above
• have at least one semester to complete on your return
• can demonstrate the skills to manage a new and challenging academic and social environment.

You may still be eligible if you’ve failed a unit, as long as you can show that the failure was the result of extenuating circumstances.

Before you apply check that your chosen university offers subjects related to your degree during the semester you intend to spend overseas.
