This section also lists available units of study, including Exchange units and cross-listed units of study.

International exchange

The department encourages students to spend a period of exchange at an overseas university. The University’s International Exchange Program enables you to undertake approved overseas study, with the credit achieved counting towards your degree at the University of Sydney. The University currently has an exchange agreement with the University of Cyprus. Comprehensive information is available at the Student Exchange Office Website.

The department can also organise In-Country Study: in collaboration with the University of Athens a 6-week course on Greek language, culture and history is run over January and February. The course takes place in the Old Building of the University of Athens at the heart of the city: students sit for exams at the end of the program. Each weekend an excursion to an important archaeological site is scheduled (Delphi, Mycenae, Olympia, Vergina etc). Students who successfully complete the unit receive 6 credit points towards their degree. Fees apply as determined by the University of Athens.

Talk to your International coordinator for information.
