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.
NoteIf you’re thinking about undertaking a 3 or 4-year degree, please visit our International study web page.
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!
"WA is the perfect place to get lost in nature while studying at a top university."
Mario Conradt, a Mechanical Engineering student from Technische Universitat Kaiserslautern in Germany, spent Semester 2 at ECU in 2018. Mario also found time to create this video, highlighting some of the many beautiful places he visited around Perth and in the South West of Western Australia.
What should you study here?
