Study abroad

Our Study Abroad Program invites international students to apply to study here for one or two semesters. Successful completion of units can count towards your home institution degree.

If your home university doesn't have an exchange agreement with ECU, or is unable to offer you an exchange place here, you can apply as a study abroad student.

Why study overseas?

Overseas study allows you to travel while gaining degree credits, and provides opportunities for personal growth.

It also looks great on a résumé and may give you a competitive edge in the job market.

There are many good reasons for studying in Perth too!
