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 Study Abroad and Student Exchange 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.

Students can choose from more than 4000 high-quality courses with many offering theoretical or practical components that are unique to UQ. Many courses focus on Australian topics or offer field trips to unique locations in Southeast Queensland, while 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.

The University provides students with many opportunities to participate in cultural, educational and recreational activities. Students can also mix study with travel and take advantage of Brisbane’s location as the gateway to all of the tourist destinations that make Queensland famous.
