2. have completed at least one year (or equivalent) of tertiary-level study prior to commencement in your Exchange program
3. achieve a 2.5/4.0 minimum GPA
4. meet the English language requirements

Exchange students can study undergraduate or postgraduate courses during Summer School, Winter School, semesters, trimesters or a combination of study periods.

For example you might want to study during semester 2 and Summer School.

Further information can be found on our Choosing a Course website.

Upon the completion of your program, an official digital University of Adelaide transcript will be issued to you. You can share this with your home institution electronically.

Courses completed may be credited back to your home degree, but it is your responsibility to organise the credit transfer with your home institution

Please see our current exchange partner listing to find out if your institution has an exchange partner agreement in place with us.

Exchange students remain enrolled with their home institution and continue to pay tuition fees to their home institution. Tuition fees at the University of Adelaide are waived.

While Exchange students do not incur tuition fees, they still have to pay for their living expenses and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

In addition, the Australian Government occasionally offers scholarships to Exchange students. Please contact your home institution for more information.

To see a breakdown of costs associated with Exchange, visit the fees page of our website.

Contact the Exchange office at your home university and if approved, they will nominate you to study at the University of Adelaide.

Most Exchange students apply for a student visa. You must have received your Confirmation of Enrolment and OSHC before making a student visa application. For any visa enquiries please refer to the Department of Home Affairs or contact your local Australian Embassy.

To fulfil Australian student visa requirements, exchange students must be enrolled in at least 9 units (usually 3 courses) at the University of Adelaide.
