Exams and assessments

It is your responsibility to ensure that participation in a Global Enrichment Experience does not impact your exams or assessments at UQ. Please be aware that you may not be eligible for deferred or supplementary exams or assessments if there is a conflict.

Costs

The participation mode of this experience is Study Abroad, meaning you are responsible for paying all associated fees directly to the host or via a payment method communicated to you by Global Experiences. 

The cost of the program per student is approx. $1,025 AUD (4,680.00 RMB or USD 650.00). The program fee includes:

• Accommodation
• Shuttle bus service during the program
• Field trips and one-day excursion
• Welcome reception and opening ceremony
• Breakfast
• Administrative fees.

All other costs, including flights, visa/entry permit (if required), vaccinations/medical clearance (if required), lunch and eventing meals and discretionary spending, are the responsibility of the participants.

Insurance

Students will be covered by UQ's Corporate Travel Insurance for the duration of the experience. If you plan to travel for a longer duration that the experience covers, or outside the country of the experience, you are liable for the cost of additional travel and health insurance. 

Accommodation

Accommodation will be provided by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and included in the program fee. Students will be accommodated in the on-campus Guesthouse rather than the student dorms, with the rooms being shared doubles, with standard amenities provided. Further details will be shared with confirmed participants closer to the program dates.
