ACU National offers students who have successfully completed the first year of their degree course the opportunity to participate in an overseas exchange program.

The exchange program caters for Australian-based students who wish to study overseas and international students who wish to study in Australia.

Outgoing Students
Australian-based students who wish to study at an overseas institution need to show evidence of, among other requirements, a good academic record (preferably a Credit average in their studies at ACU National).

Preference will be given to students in the 'middle years' of their degree programs.

The overseas institutions offer a wide variety of subjects in areas which mesh with ACU National courses. Units studied overseas can be credited toward your ACU National degree.

Check our Outgoing Students section and the Outgoing Exchange Student Guide & Application Form for details.

Incoming Students
International Exchange students from partner institutions with which ACU National has a written agreement can choose to study at any of the ACU campuses and in any units, provided they meet certain criteria.

Check our Incoming Students section and Incoming Exchange Student Guide & Application Form for details.
