If you are interested in a global experience, ask yourself the following questions: > When do I want to go? > How long do I want to go for?

Check your Program Plan found in your Program Handbook to get a clear understanding of when things are scheduled to occur – when are your placements, when are your core courses?

Want to travel more than once? That’s fine - It is possible to take a global experience multiple times! We have students who have been overseas up to 4 times! Some students like to start with a short term experience like a study tour or short course and then complete a semester exchange or internship towards the end of their degree.

EARLY PLANNING IS THE KEY!

We suggest you speak to us and attend our events in your first year in order to maximize what you can get from your university degree.
