Global learning
We are committed to providing all students with
opportunities to study internationally. Students have
the possibility of a ‘third country experience’ through a
range of programs, including student exchange, study
tours, summer and winter schools, internships and
placements. With planning, there is no need to extend
a degree to accommodate these experiences. Credit is
usually awarded for the study undertaken.
Students participating in an exchange program remain
enrolled as full-time students at the University of
Adelaide while overseas, and continue to pay their
usual tuition fees. They do not pay tuition fees at the
host university.
There are many exciting opportunities in the Americas,
Europe, Asia-Pacific region and Africa. To discover
