tuition fee. Three courses will allow you more
time to take on extracurricular activities, career
development opportunities or internships.
UQ’s Study Abroad and Incoming Exchange
programs provide you with an exciting opportunity to
gain an international perspective on your education
at a leading Australian university with a reputation for
teaching and research excellence.
As a student already enrolled at an accredited
university outside Australia, you can explore your
interests and talents by studying at UQ for one or two
semesters.
Whilst you should seek confirmation from your home
university, in most cases you will be able to transfer
credit for any studies you successfully complete at UQ.
As a Study Abroad student, you have the option of
choosing the standard four course (full-time load)
Study Abroad program, or the three course program
at a reduced tuition fee. Incoming Exchange students
can choose either three or four courses.
You can choose from more than 4000 courses, with
many offering theoretical or practical components
unique to UQ. Numerous courses focus on Australian
topics or offer field trips to fascinating locations in
South East Queensland, while others promote group
project work or research opportunities.
Studying at UQ as a Study Abroad or Incoming
Exchange student is not only intellectually
rewarding, it is also a great opportunity for personal
development, meeting new people, and experiencing
Australian culture first-hand.
The University provides you with a range of
opportunities to participate in cultural, educational
and recreational activities. You can also mix study
with travel and take advantage of Brisbane’s location
as a gateway to the many tourist destinations that
make Queensland famous.
