Find short-term experiences
Summer applications now closed, Winter applications will open 28 November.
Experiences will be added to the webpage on a rolling basis throughout the application period. If you do not find a suitable experience at this time, please continue to check back to this webpage.
OS-HELP Loan: OS-HELP application deadlines are different to the short-term experience application deadlines. Please visit the OS-HELP Loan website for deadline dates as late applications will not be accepted.
Experience Mode: Please carefully check the ‘mode’ of each experience, as this impacts who you pay tuition fees to:
- 'Exchange' mode means you pay tuition to UQ and, if eligible, you can defer those fees to HECS.
- 'Study Abroad' means you pay tuition to the experience host.
Guaranteed funding: Eligible students* are guaranteed a New Colombo Plan (NCP) Mobility Grant, provided by the Australian Government, to participate in the selected experiences within the Indo-Pacific Region. Please refer to the 'New Colombo Plan Funding Available' tab below for the list of programs.
*other funding may be available for students not eligible for NCP. See more details on our costs and funding page.
