Why not study overseas for up to a year
while gaining credit towards your UQ
degree?
An exchange can be the adventure of
a lifetime: you can improve your foreign
language skills, broaden your career and
academic opportunities, and gain a different
perspective on your studies. And with UQ
having exchange agreements with more
than 175 institutions in 38 countries, you will
have a broad choice.
Some UQ programs also include
overseas placements or field trips as a core
study component, enabling you to discover
new cultures in a short space of time.
