Whether it is new friends or important lessons learned. Usually both! Living and studying overseas is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will change you for the better.”

Yasmin DowlaBachelor of Arts/Bachelor of EconomicsUniversity of Edinburgh, Scotland

“During my OLE experience, I quickly realised that the language was my gateway to the Spanish way of life. The more I learnt in class, the more the town, university and host family felt like my own. That kind of cultural and linguistic immersion is something that you just can’t experience as a tourist.”Ashley MastersBachelor of Science/Doctor of MedicineOLE - Spain

“Exchange was the single best thing I could have done at University. It opened my eyes to a whole different way of life and broadened aspirations in life.”

Ryan BogatezBachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies)University of California, Santa Barbara

Study overseas and experience a new culture while earning credit towards your course�

Getting credit towards your course

Credit approval for overseas programs

Semester exchangeThe availability of subjects at your host institution is an important factor in choosing where you’d like to go for a semester exchange� When researching your preferred semester exchange destination, consult the partner institution’s course/unit catalogue to confirm that there are sufficient units of study available to exchange students in your field and level of study in the semester for which you are applying� You can find links to these catalogues on the Global Mobility Database�

Due to enrolment quotas and other restrictions, the availability of subjects during semester programs cannot be guaranteed, therefore studying elective units on exchange may provide more flexibility� There is a conditional credit approval process you will go through as a part of your exchange application�

Short-term exchangeYou can find information about the units of study offered during short-term exchange programs on the Global Mobility Database (sydney�edu�au/study/overseas-programs)� You will also have to go through a conditional credit approval process in your application for a short-term exchange program�

Non-exchange programsYou can apply to receive academic credit towards your University of Sydney course, but it is not mandatory for non-exchange programs� If you wish to obtain credit for a non-exchange program, there will be the option to request conditional credit approval during the application process�

Non-credit programsDevelop skills from leadership to language proficiency by participating in non-credit bearing internships, summer schools, competitions and other external programs that take you overseas�

Credit transferAfter you return, your faculty will use your official overseas transcript and any other required documentation to credit your results towards your University of Sydney course�

Have more questions? Attend information sessions and drop-in advising sessions, which weekly during the semester and run by our Sydney Abroad advisors�

of the experience�

You can research and find information about subjects, languages, housing, cost of living and lifestyle for each program at:

“An overseas experience is an amazing way to spend either a semester or a uni break abroad.

You get to broaden your perspective and meet people from so many different countries.”

Angela ZhaBachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Advanced Studies

Tsinghua University Summer Program, China

“Learning Indonesian in Java was incredibly enriching. The opportunity to practice classroom content at local markets and warungs pointed out to me the invaluable power in language and its role in connecting to people. This programme also ignited in me interests in Indonesia and its role in global politics.”

Shalomy SathiyarajBachelor of Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Arts OLE - Indonesia

We encourage you to start planning early to ensure you can undertake an overseas program (or two!) during your course� This gives you enough time to research your options, plan your enrolment, and get the advice you need before applying�

How to apply

5 steps to apply for an overseas program

1� Attend an information session to explore your overseas study options�

2� Find your mobility window – the best time in your course to go overseas�

3� Research what you can study, where you can go and the programs that will suit you, using the Global Mobility Database� sydney�edu�au/study/overseas-programs

4� Talk to a Sydney Abroad Adviser for further help and advice�

5� Complete your application by the deadline�

We aim to have 50 percent of our students undertake an international experience as part of their studies, with scholarship funding available for at least half of these students�

When assessing applications, we take into account your Weighted Average Mark (WAM), degree progression and partner university preferences to ensure that you’ll have the most rewarding experience abroad possible�

You can find more information on eligibility criteria under each program at:

− sydney�edu�au/study/overseas-programs

Find your mobility window

Your mobility window is the time in your course that is most ideal to study overseas� To find your mobility window, it’s important that you understand the requirements and structure of your course (and major/s)� This information can be found in your course handbook�

“Through the GCA I was offered an exclusive opportunity to attend the

2017 University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Bangkok. At this event, I

was asked to speak in front of 900 delegates from more than 60 countries, and engage

in discourse with international leaders and stakeholders.

“While I learnt a lot from the individuals who presented at the conference, I learnt

the most about leadership from the students around me, who openly shared

the issues facing their nations and the steps they were taking to make a change. This

was an opportunity I wouldn’t have known about if I wasn’t a part of the GCA.”

Lauren ChapmanBachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws

“Without sounding clichéd, you’ll learn so much about yourself as a person and you’ll be challenged

to get outside your comfort zone. I was a bit nervous at first, especially about making friends

and making the most of my time there, but the transition doesn’t take long and, before you know it,

you’re having the time of your life!”

Some of the more frequently asked questions about studying overseas�

FAQs

1. What is the difference between exchange and non-exchange programs?Exchange and non-exchange programs vary in the way you pay your tuition fees� As an exchange student, you remain enrolled at the University of Sydney and continue your usual fee arrangement� A non-exchange program requires you to enrol at a foreign university and pay fees to that university directly�

2. Where do I stay in my host country?There are many accommodation options, which vary depending on your chosen destination� From on-campus student housing to finding your own home off-campus, there’ll be one that suits your needs and lifestyle� Many short-term programs offer accommodation packages in the program fee�

3. Is it expensive? Studying overseas doesn’t have to be expensive� Remember that you will be living and studying abroad, not travelling on holiday� Living costs vary across the world, even in different regions of the same country� Food, accommodation and transport can be much cheaper than Sydney in many locations� There are a number of scholarships, grants and loans available to help cover some of your expenses�

4. Will spending a semester abroad delay my graduation?You remain enrolled at the University of Sydney during your semester exchange� Your results for approved subjects are then credited towards your course at the University of Sydney once you have satisfactorily completed your mobility program� If planned carefully, semester

exchange should not delay your graduation unless you go abroad in your final semester, which can delay graduation or progression into honours�

5. How long can I go abroad for? You can complete one or two subjects in as little as two weeks in the winter or summer break or spend a semester or a full year overseas�

6. Can I go abroad if I am a postgraduate or international student?Yes, both postgraduate and international students can go abroad� For postgraduate students, it is possible provided there is scope in your course and/or approved by your supervisors�

7. Do I need to know another language to go on exchange?Many of our partners in non-English speaking countries across Europe and Asia offer a broad range of units taught in English, therefore you are not required to speak another language to attend� Check the Global Mobility Database to find out which partners offer subjects in English�

8. Do I need to find units of study that are an exact match of ones in my course?One benefit of spending a period at an overseas institution is that you can access units of study that may not be taught at the University of Sydney� For example, at the National University of Singapore, a film studies major could take an elective on South Asian Cinema, which is not offered at the University of Sydney�

9. Where can I get more information?There are on campus information sessions and drop-in advising sessions throughout the semester to help answer all your questions� You can find more information on these here: sydney�edu�au/studyabroad� You can also visit us at the Sydney Abroad Counter in the Student Centre, Level 3, Jane Foss Russell Building, Camperdown Campus or email: sydney�abroad@sydney�edu�au�
