Exchange program
As part of its commitment to internationalisation, the Faculty encourages its students to undertake studies at selected international universities. Exchanges are available to all students within the Faculty of Science, except those enrolled in the Bachelor of Optometry. Optometry students should discuss options for an international experience with the Department of Optometry. You will, in most cases, receive credit for the studies that you take overseas. Plan your exchange early, in most cases two semesters in advance, for either one or two semesters and generally during your second or third year of study at Melbourne. It provides you with a fantastic opportunity for travel, investigating a new part of the world, exposure to living in a different culture, and you'll make lots of new friends.
