Selection Criteria

Selection for the exchange programs is made on the basis of academic merit and an evaluation of the student's reasons for wanting to participate in the exchange program. Students need to have achieved at least a credit (65%) grade average and to have completed at least 2 semesters of full-time study (24 units).  Part-time students are eligible provided they have completed at least 24 units of study.  All students must be enrolled as full-time students during their exchange.

Most students are eligible to study overseas in either their 4th or 5th semester of study.  A student can submit an application at any time after their first semester's results are available - an offer may be made conditional upon successful completion of the second semester of study.

Applicants will need to include academic references and a short essay with their application, and to have consulted their Faculty about their proposed course of study overseas; it may not, however, be possible to obtain Faculty Approval for specific courses at the time of the application. Interviews may be conducted.

Once a student has been selected by the University of Adelaide for an exchange program, their application is forwarded to the overseas institution for final acceptance.

Final approval for admission is at the discretion of the host institution.

Students are requested not to contact partner institutions about the exchange program. 

All correspondence must be through the Adelaide Abroad office.
