Who can go?

Exchange and Study Abroad programs are available to all Deakin students, including international, postgraduate and off-campus students. 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 (undergraduate students who have been granted advanced standing of 4 credit points or more must normally have completed 4 credit points of enrolment at Deakin in order to be eligible for an Exchange or Study Abroad program).
Postgraduate students should have completed at least 4 credit points towards their Deakin degree.
You must generally have at least 4 credits to complete on your return to Deakin.
You must have enough credits to allow full-time studies while overseas.
You generally need 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.

Postgraduate students

Many host universities limit the Exchange places offered to postgraduate students. You may be interested in participating in a Summer or Winter 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.

Year-long Exchanges are not available for postgraduate students.
