The exchange application process is extensive and time consuming, and requires an ability to meet deadlines and attend scheduled meetings. The UC student exchange program will assist you with obtaining a placement with a host university and provide you with information and assistance required to organise your exchange overseas.

It will be your responsibility to do your research along the way.

"Participating in the Student Exchange Program at George Mason University in the United States was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone contemplating an exchange semester. Being so close to Washington DC enabled me to experience the legal and political landscape of the capital and to learn about American culture first hand. As a law student here at UC, being able to shadow a District Court prosecutor in Virginia gave me a valuable insight into the American criminal justice system, and allowed me to compare jurisdictions.

On the social side I met some amazing people from Mexico, France, Chile, Malta, England, Russia and of course the United States. I played footy for the George Mason Rugby Club and I was able to catch the New York Knicks play at Madison Square Garden!

Being on exchange also provided me with the opportunity to use George Mason as a springboard to travel all over the United States and Mexico. So I urge you all to get involved and see what the world has to offer!" - Chris Young
