International Exchange Program

Studying overseas as a Southern Cross University international exchange student provides a wonderful opportunity to travel, understand new cultures and to broaden your experience over one or two teaching sessions.

Here are some quick facts about international exchange opportunities:
• No extra tuition fees while you are enrolled during your exchange;
• You are still eligible to receive Centrelink benefits while studying overseas;
• Funding of $5000 is available through the Australian government*;
• Low interest loans of up to $5800 are also available through HECS*;
• Earn credits for overseas study towards your degree by choosing core or elective equivalent subjects in your study plan. This will not lengthen the duration of your degree.
