Study abroad & exchange programs

What is Study Abroad and Exchange Study?

The University's Study Abroad and Exchange Programs provide opportunities for students already enrolled in a university overseas to add to the breadth of their educational experience by coming to UB to continue their studies and to count their studies towards their home degree.

Qualified Study Abroad students, and Exchange students from the University's official exchange institutions, are welcome to enrol in either one or two semester programs in a wide range of academic areas.

Study Abroad

The Study Abroad Program at the University of Ballarat allows you to experience the adventure and the benefits of student life and travel in Australia. With the assistance of an Academic Director of Studies for Study Abroad, you will have the opportunity to continue your academic program while being immersed in Australian culture, enrolled in classes with Australian students and undertaking fieldwork and related experiences.
Study Abroad is available for students from most universities around the world.

Exchange

The University of Ballarat has Exchange agreements (pdf, 108.65 KB) with a number of overseas universities.
