If you're an international student who would like to come and study at UWA for up to 12 months, we've got some great ways for you to broaden your horizons - literally!

Through our Student Exchange and Study Abroad programs you can:

  • study at UWA for up to two semesters
  • start studies in February or July
  • take undergraduate or postgraduate courses
  • obtain credit for study at UWA towards your home university degree

This is an opportunity for you to be stimulated by different academic challenges, develop self-awareness, discover a new culture, make new friends and travel to parts of Australia you have only dreamed about!

Option OneStudent Exchange


If your university has a formal university agreement with UWA, you can apply to study at UWA  as an exchange student.

This means that you do not pay tuition fees to study at UWA, but continue to pay tuition fees at your home university. You must, however, pay for Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) as a condition of obtaining your Australian Student Visa. EU students coming to UWA on student exchange are eligible to apply for a scholarship.

Option Two Study Abroad


If your university or college does not have a formal student exchange agreement with UWA, or if all student exchange places are filled in the student exchange program between UWA and your university or you have completed high school but not yet enrolled at a university, you can still study at UWA through the Study Abroad Program.

To study on this basis, tuition fees are payable. Fees for 2009 will be AUD$19,000 per year or AUD$9,500 per semester.
