Study overseas

Explore the world, embrace diverse cultures, enhance your employability and maybe even learn a new language, all while earning course credit towards your UC degree. 

Whether you decide to study for a semester or a year at a UC partner institution, choose your own university, or take a short-term study experience overseas, you’ll have the learning experience of a lifetime. 

With a wide range of scholarships and bursaries available to help you finance your trip, your overseas study dream doesn’t need to break the bank.

There are multiple options available for you to study overseas.

Study full-time units related to your degree for a semester or a year abroad at one of 44 partner universities across 17 countries in Europe, Asia, North America or Latin America. You’ll continue paying tuition fees to UC and remain enrolled as a full-time student while overseas.

If you can’t find the location or  program you want at one of our partner universities, consider choosing your own international university for a  semester or a year of study abroad. With study abroad you’ll pay your tuition fees directly to that university while earning credit towards your UC degree.

Designed and led by UC faculty members, these short-term programs of between two and five weeks allow you to travel overseas with a cohort of your peers. They relate directly to your degree and combine study and culture with first-hand industry experience. Run over the winter and summer university breaks, you enrol in these tours like you would a unit, and you’ll complete assessment tasks about your experience to gain course credit.

For students keen to travel and study overseas during university summer and winter breaks, two to six-week independent short programs are run by UC third party partners. On top of our partners, there are a huge number of additional providers that offer short term international study opportunities. These international programs could count towards your degree, allowing you to enhance your degree while having an unforgettable international experience.

Boost your practical experience while discovering what it’s like to live and work overseas with an international internship or placement. You can complete international placements if you’re studying nursing, midwifery, nutrition, pharmacology, physiotherapy or teaching, and international internships in a variety of other study areas too.
