Apply for Short-term Exchange

To apply for a short-term exchange program, you’ll need to submit an application to Swinburne Abroad.

Step 1

Check to confirm that you meet eligibility requirements for the short-term exchange program.

Students must meet the following:

• Be enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate course at Swinburne
• Have completed at least 50 credit points in your current program (not including any exemptions or RPL)
• Have at least 50 credit points remaining in your current program at the completion of your short-term exchange program (exceptions to this may be possible only with Course Director approval)
• Have achieved a minimum academic average of 60 percent. Please contact a Swinburne Abroad Adviser if you fall below this.

International students studying at Swinburne are eligible for the short-term exchange program but you may need to comply with additional conditions of the host university.

Step 2

Obtain a copy of your course planner.

Step 3

Research where you’d like to go from the list of available programs

Does the short-term exchange program offer subjects in your major? If not, do you have electives/component units you could use?

Step 4

Refer to the Academic Information section for each program to make sure you understand how many credits you’ll need to complete overseas.

Step 5

Create your Study Plan application document

You’ll need to have your Study Plan approved and signed off by your academic Course Director.
