So you've decided you want to apply for a semester-based exchange!
Before you start the application process make sure you have confirmed that you are eligible and know where you want to go.
If you are having difficulty at any stage of the application process, please contact an Internships and Global Experiences Coordinator for help. Do not contact your host institution directly as all enquiries must be made through Global Experiences until you are formally accepted.
1. Complete a progression check
Progression checks (or program planners) allow students to self-check the courses they have already completed, and those remaining in their UQ program.
Make sure you are aware of the course requirements of your UQ program before completing the progression check/program planner.
Important: Going on exchange in your final semester may delay your graduation date.
