Study abroad/exchange


General information

Local and international students (AUSAID students excluded) are permitted to complete up to one semester of an approved academic program overseas on an exchange or study abroad basis. Students can enrol in intensive language programs or subjects relevant to their degree/diploma specialisation.
Monash University and the Faculty of Arts have exchange agreements with many overseas universities. If a student attends a university where an exchange agreement is in place, no fees are charged at the host institution. The student maintains his/her enrolment at Monash and pays HECS/full-fees. Where an exchange agreement does not exist, the student will pay a tuition fee at the host institution. For further advice, please contact Ms Sonia Chan from the Monash Abroad Office (telephone: 9903 2605) or Liz Nolan, international relations coordinator (telephone: 9905 2111).

Student grants - Monash Abroad

The university has allocated a budget for Monash Abroad to make a significant contribution to each student's travel costs. To be eligible for a travel grant, students must complete and lodge an application form for Monash Abroad programs. Application forms are available from the graduate studies office.
Faculty approval will be granted to students who have completed at least one semester of postgraduate studies with credit level grades or above and who have not previously been granted credit.
Students should make an appointment to see Liz Nolan in the Faculty of Arts for faculty approval prior to lodging the Monash Abroad form.
