How much will it cost?

Tuition fees are waived by each exchange institution for incoming students. All other costs are the responsibility of the student. These include travel, accommodation, meals, health insurance, books and entertainment costs, and may include a Student Service Fee at the host university. Costs will vary widely across our range of partners - as a very rough guide students would need between $AUD1500 - 2000 per month. Cost of living information is available from our partner institutions.

HECS-HELP, fees, Austudy, Abstudy

Financial assistance for some students is available through OS-Help. This is a loan scheme administered by DEEWR that allows students to borrow up to $5,299 per 6 month study period overseas for a maximum of 2 study periods - a 20% loan fee applies. The primary criteria for eligibility are:

• must be an Australian citizen or the holder of a permanent humanitarian visa
• must have completed one year of full-time study before studying overseas (24 University of Adelaide units)
  
• must have 0.5 of a year of full time study remaining on return from overseas (12 University of Adelaide units)
  
• must be receiving status towards an Adelaide degree for the studies undertaken overseas
• must be enrolled FT at an approved overseas higher education provider.
  

Full details of the loan scheme.

Students who already qualify for AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY may be able to continue to claim for the time they spend overseas. This is because they remain enrolled at the University of Adelaide and are still working towards their Adelaide degree whilst they are overseas.

Further information on AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY.

As students participating in the exchange programs remain enrolled at the University of Adelaide while studying overseas, they liable for their HECS-HELP loan obligation or their International Student tuition fees.  The exchange programs work on the basis that participating students pay the local fees owing to their own institution before going overseas. In this way, places are funded for incoming exchange students.
