Short term overseas study

Short term programs allow you to travel overseas for two weeks to three months for an educational experience that counts toward your degree. Travel often includes workplace learning, clinical placements, internships, practical experience and study tours, short courses and language programs. It's a chance to extend your learning while having a life-changing cultural experience.
School-led in-country programs

Your school may have many opportunities to travel to a partner institution. Opportunities are typically for around two to three weeks and you will travel and study alongside students and a UniSC academic. Talk to your Program Coordinator about the types of programs available in your school and study area. The projects listed here are for Undergraduate students unless otherwise stated.
