International students coming to Sydney
Every year, hundreds of students from around the world are welcomed to the University of Sydney under the Study Abroad and Student Exchange programs. These programs allow you to complete a semester or a year of your degree at the University of Sydney. Most courses are open to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Depending on your home university's grading requirements, you may also be able to have the results you get at the University of Sydney credited towards your degree back home.
The Study Abroad program is where you enrol and pay your semester’s fees to the University of Sydney.
Student Exchange is a tuition fee waiver program. This means that your exchange here is part of your course at your home university.
The University of Sydney has an extensive range of student exchange programs with universities throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Students should check with their home institution's Exchange Office about the application process.
