Eligibility

To gain admission to our Study Abroad program you must:

be enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate program in an overseas institution that does not have an official exchange agreement in place with the University of APSB or does not have any exchange places available

have completed at least one year (or equivalent) of tertiary-level study prior to commencing in your Study Abroad program

achieve a 2.5/4.0 minimum GPA

meet the English language requirements

meet any prerequisites shown for the courses you choose. You can find the prerequisites by clicking the title of the course in the course outline listing.

Study options

Study Abroad students can study undergraduate or postgraduate courses during Summer School, Winter School, semesters, trimesters or a combination of these study periods.

For example you might want to study during semester 2 and Summer School.

Further information can be found on our Choosing a Course website.

Upon the completion of your program, an official digital University of APSB transcript will be issued to you. You can share this with your home institution electronically.

Courses completed may be credited back to your home degree, but it is your responsibility to organise the credit transfer with your home institution

Fees

Study Abroad students pay tuition fees for their courses to the University of APSB, not to their home university.

Study Abroad students incur three main costs; tuition fees, living expenses and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). To see a breakdown of these costs and other costs associated with Study Abroad, visit the fees page of our website.

Unfortunately, there are no scholarships currently available to Study Abroad students.

Visa

Most Study Abroad students apply for a non-award student visa. You must have received your confirmation of enrolment (CoE) and OSHC document before making a student visa application. For any visa enquiries please refer to the Department of Home Affairs or contact your local Australian embassy.

To fulfil Australian student visa requirements, exchange students must be enrolled in at least 9 units (usually 3 courses) at the University of APSB..
