If you’re considering a global experience, the first step is to work out the kinds of programs available to you, whether you'd like to do a virtual or in-person program, the destinations on offer and the different eligibility requirements you need to be aware of.
There’s a lot to consider so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to research your options. The earlier you plan, the more flexibility you'll have with your choices. We usually recommend you start planning your application once you start at the University or at least 12 months before you would like to commence a global program.
Get advice
Talk to your faculty or school
Before you consider a global experience, it's important that you talk to an exchange coordinator within your faculty or school to work out if it will fit within the requirements of your course.
Drop in to the Student Centre
Throughout the process, support is available from one of our Sydney Abroad Peer advisors. You can book in a virtual appointment with an advisor between 9.30am-4pm, Monday – Friday. They have been on a global mobility program themselves and can help with advice on where you can go and what you need to do to apply. When the Student Centre is open, peer advisors are available in person.
Come to an info session
There are also information sessions and application workshops run by the Sydney Abroad advisors throughout the semester. Here you can get general advice, help with eligibility, destination information and tips on how to apply.
