As a Federation University student, you can study on an exchange program for one or two semesters at one of our partner institutions, participate in a study tour, or undertake a short course during the summer or winter break. Generous funding is available for many of these opportunities.
Semester-long study
Exchange
We have exchange agreements with a number of overseas universities. These agreements allow students to study at the exchange institution for one or two semesters. As an exchange student, you continue to pay tuition fees to Federation University.
Study Abroad
Students wanting to study at institutions not covered under our exchange agreements are able to do so as study-abroad students. As a study-abroad student, you would enrol and pay tuition fees directly to the overseas university.
Short-term study tours
A short program provides the ideal opportunity to experience a taste of overseas study at one of Federation University’s partner universities around the world without committing to an entire semester abroad. Programs run for two to four weeks, most being offered during the semester breaks.
You could study art, culture and literature in South Korea, business in Lithuania, or environmental conservation in France!
New Colombo Plan (NCP) study tours
Study tours are intensive programs led by Federation University academics and allow you to combine international study and cultural immersion while gaining credit or clinical placement hours towards your degree. NCP tours are supported with Australian Government funding to make this an easily affordable option.
Study tours usually run for two to three weeks with most being offered during the semester breaks. They are organised by each institute and coordinated by the Mobility Office.
Overseas placement opportunities
Students may be able to do some or all of their placements overseas. Please contact your Course Coordinator to find out if opportunities are available.
