Who can go?
Exchange and Study Abroad programs are available to Deakin students that are:
- Undergraduate
- Postgraduate
- International
- Off-campus
To be eligible to apply for an Exchange or Study Abroad program, you must meet the following requirements:
- Undergraduate students should have completed at least 8 credit points towards their Deakin degree (or have been granted advanced standing of 4 credit points or more)
- Postgraduate students should have completed at least 4 credit points towards their Deakin degree
- Return to at least 4 credits to complete at Deakin University after your exchange program
- Study a full-time load overseas, thus you must have enough credits to allow this in your degree
- Have a credit average or above with no fails on your academic record.
- You need the approval of your faculty to participate in the proposed Exchange or Study Abroad program
It is your responsibility to obtain a visa for your host country. Your participation in the Exchange or Study Abroad program is conditional on you obtaining the appropriate visa. If you are a student with non-Australian citizenship you may want to discuss your choice of host country with the Education Abroad office before you make a decision.
More about Postgraduate exchange
Many host universities limit the Exchange places offered to postgraduate students. You may be interested in participating in a short-term program instead.
If you are interested in undertaking a trimester-long Exchange, please contact the Education Abroad office to discuss whether there are possible host universities available that offer studies in your field.
Please note: Year-long Exchanges are not available for postgraduate students.
