CQUniversity Student Exchange and Study Abroad

Picture

CQUniversity offers opportunities for students to broaden their study experience by spending a term or a year of study overseas. CQUniversity currently has student exchange programs to Norway, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Hong Kong, Canada, France, UK and USA.

To be eligible for consideration to participate in an exchange program, students must be currently enrolled in a program at CQUniversity. At the time of the exchange you must have successfully completed at least one year of full-time study at CQUniversity or if you are an external student, you must have completed at least the equivalent of one year of full-time study. You must have sound academic achievement. For successful candidates, partial funding and innovative assistance packages will help offset the costs of travel.

As an exchange student you will not be required to pay tuition fees directly to your exchange university. Your student contribution amounts for the term/s of the exchange will cover the cost of your tuition whilst you are studying overseas as an enrolled CQUniversity student.

Student Exchange and Study Abroad - CQUniversity Inbound
Study Abroad at CQUniversity 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 - there are several Queensland locations available.

Entry to undergraduate Study Abroad and Exchange 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), or as otherwise agreed between institutions.

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 (i.e. have an equivalent of an overall Academic 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 CQUniversity, coordination between the home university and the appropriate program advisor at the University ensures that wherever possible, courses taken at CQUniversity will be credited towards a degree program.

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

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

Study Abroad and Exchange services are available at Rockhampton, the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses.
