Choosing a course

• Postgraduate courses are for students who have completed an undergraduate qualification and are continuing their studies by completing an Award such as a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Masters Degree, PhD or Doctorate at their home institution.
• All courses have a course code, which includes 4-digit numbers. These numbers indicate the course level:

Checking course availability

To check if a course you have selected is available to Study Abroad or Exchange students, visit the Course Outline list, navigate to study area that you are interested in, then select the course that you are interested in and click on the 'General Course Information' drop-down menu. This is also where you can find any pre-requisites or restrictions.

Some courses have pre-requisites and require you to submit course descriptions (syllabi) of courses you have studied in the same subject area at your home university. Admission into these courses cannot be guaranteed.

You will need to provide course descriptions (in English) for courses chosen from the following study areas:

• Criminology
• Education
• Health Sciences
• Languages
• Law
• MBA (Executive Master of Business Administration)
• Media
• Music
• Sciences

Your home university will be able to provide course descriptions to you. You will need to gather this information, save them as PDF documents and submit them with your application.

Please ensure that your course descriptions contain detailed information of the course content you were taught. It is important to clearly articulate this information so that the lecturers of our courses are able to determine if you have the required academic background to be admitted.

You will not be assessed for entry into the above course areas unless you submit the course descriptions.

It may be possible to incorporate an Internship experience into your Exchange or Study Abroad Program. The University of Adelaide has a well equipped Internships Office to help facilitate students expanding their skills outside of the classroom. To learn more, visit the Student Internships website.

The following Internship courses are available to Exchange and Study Abroad students:

Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics:

• ABLEINT 2001 - ABLE Internship Level II
• ABLEINT 3001 - ABLE Internship Level III
• ABLEINT 7001 - ABLE Internship Postgraduate
• POLIS3107- International Relations Internship

Faculty of Science Engineering and Technology:

• STEM 3700 - STEM Internship
• STEM 7555 - STEM Internship

Do note, Students will be supported in securing a suitable internship which aligns with their major or specialisation; and professional interests. Students are required to demonstrate a positive attitude and commitment during the internship process and must present to the Internships Office with a professional resume and transcript.  The Internships Office will liaise with the student and potential host organisations who will usually require the student to formally apply and participate in an internship interview process, prior to being offered an internship. To avoid a delay in this process, students are advised get in touch as early as possible as it takes time to finalise internship arrangements. Students won’t be able to do an internship course if they enrol less than 1 month prior to semester commencement.
