The University of Queensland’s Study Abroad and student exchange programs provide students with the exciting opportunity to gain an international perspective on their education at a leading Australian university with a reputation for teaching and research.

The programs allow students already enrolled at accredited universities outside of Australia to explore their interests and talents through studying at UQ for one or two semesters. Students admitted to these programs are not awarded a degree from UQ – instead, credit for studies successfully completed at UQ may be transferred to the degree in the student’s home institution.

UQ students choose from an extensive selection of high-quality courses with many offering theoretical or practical components that are unique to UQ. With more than 4,000 courses available in a wide variety of areas, many courses focus on Australian topics or offer field trips to unique locations in south-east Queensland, whilst other courses promote group project work or research opportunities.

Studying at UQ as a Study Abroad or exchange student is not only intellectually rewarding, it is also about personal development, meeting new people and experiencing the Australian culture first-hand.

Steve Romanoff, from the USA

“The Australian environment has to be the best part about studying abroad.

“My experience at UQ was so good that I have decided to stay for another semester!”
