We estimate that a semester of exchange will cost between $12,000 and $15,000. This includes airfares, accommodation, insurance, visa and food costs. The exact amount will depend on the cost of living in your host country.
You remain liable for tuition fees at UQ as you will remain enrolled in a standard full-time load at UQ (8 units) while overseas. This means that you do not have to pay tuition fees to your host university.
Domestic students: click on Domestic and check the fees for Exchange Studies (EXCH).
International students: Click on International and refer to the relevant fee schedule.
