Student Exchange

CQU offers opportunities for domestic Australian undergraduate students to broaden their study experience by spending a term or a year of study overseas. CQU currently has student exchange programs to Canada, Germany, Japan, Sweden and USA.

To be eligible for consideration to participate in an exchange program, students must be currently enrolled in a full-time on-campus undergraduate program at CQU. At the time of the exchange you must have successfully completed at least one year of full-time study at CQU or if you are a current external undergraduate student, you must have completed at least the equivalent of one year of full-time study. You must have full financial support to cover airfares and living expenses. You must have sound academic achievement.

During the exchange you will remain enrolled at CQU on a full-time basis. As an exchange student you will not be required to pay tuition fees directly to your exchange university. Your HECS contribution for the term/s of the exchange will cover the cost of your tuition whilst you are studying overseas. Austudy payments will continue as long as you study courses within your degree program.

Study Abroad
Study Abroad at CQU provides international students with academic challenges, diverse cultural experiences and the opportunity for adventure and travel in an exciting and geographically unique country.

The experience obtained is dependent on the campus location chosen.

Entry to undergraduate Study Abroad courses are available to students who have successfully completed at least one year of full-time university study in their home country, with an acceptable minimum GPA (eg. USA - GPA 2.5).

Students who do not have English as a first language, or have not completed secondary or tertiary study via the medium of English, must also meet our English requirements (ie. have an equivalent of an overall IELTS band score of 6 (with no individual band score of less than 5) OR a TOEFL score of 550, including a TWE score of 4 - computer based score of 213).

Before students arrive at CQU, coordination between the home university and the appropriate program advisor at CQU ensures that wherever possible, courses taken at CQU will be credited towards a degree program.

At the end of the Study Abroad program, students receive a certificate of completion. An official academic transcript is forwarded to the student's home university.

Innovative programs are offered across the five CQU faculties and provide opportunity to enrol in courses with similar home university content but with an Australian perspective.

Study Abroad services are available at CQU Rockhampton, Mackay, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Emerald, the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music as well as at CQU's Australian International Campuses in Brisbane and Gold Coast.
