Travel overseas for a semester or two at a partner institution. It's an amazing way to see the world, experience a new culture, learn, and gain confidence. You'll remain enrolled as a UniSC student, and pay tuition at UniSC. While overseas you study courses that may be credited towards your UniSC degree and those offered in English.

You can apply for a student exchange if you:
- are 18 years of age before the commencement of your travel,

Note: you can check your eligibility under program requirements under the entry requirements tab on your program page, - have successfully completed eight courses at UniSC before you commence your travel,
- have a minimum GPA of 4.5 (or minimum GPA requirement of 5.0 for Japanese In-country language studies), and
- return to UniSC with at least one course remaining to complete your degree.
Funding and scholarships
When you study on exchange you pay fees as per UniSC's program fees but there's funding support available. Explore these opportunities and discuss them when you meet with your consultant.
