Academic requirements

1. At the University of Sydney, you must have a weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 50 and have completed a minimum of 24 credit points. It’s important to keep in mind that host institutions can have a higher WAM requirement. For more details, go to the Global Mobility Database.
2. Due to application timelines, you must be meeting your course progression requirements at the University of Sydney. Postgraduate coursework students must be enrolled in an award course with at least 72 credit points to be considered for semester exchange mobility. Postgraduate research students must obtain approval from both their University of Sydney supervisor and their home institution.
3. You must complete at least 24 credit points of your award course at the University of Sydney if you have moved from another university. Additional supporting documents/previous transcripts can be requested to be submitted with your application.
4. You may also need to meet the host institution’s additional criteria, such as grades, language skill, prerequisites for units of study, course advancement, field of study, portfolios of work, or auditions.

You must also satisfy the host institution’s language specifications if you wish to engage in an exchange in a language other than English. This does not apply if you want to study in English in a country where English is not spoken.

Nationality

1. You are entitled to participate in any form of overseas mobility experience in a country where you are, or have been, a citizen or permanent resident, as long as the host institution allows it.

Additional criteria

Undergraduate

As an undergraduate student, you have a lot of exchange options, but you should be mindful of the following:

1. Some courses do not encourage you to swap during your final semester. Most faculties/schools do not allow you to take an honors year on exchange, and going on exchange in your final semester could jeopardize your honors development. Combined courses are common in Sydney, but not so much elsewhere, and this can restrict the number of units you can take at a host university due to strict degree requirements. Short-term exchange programs are possible in Dentistry, Medicine, and Veterinary Science, but semester or year-long exchange programs are not allowed.

Postgraduate

1. There are a few more limitations on postgraduate trade.
2. For example, most universities in Canada and the United States require a four-year degree, while many Australian students only have a three-year bachelor’s degree.
3. Many university postgraduate exchange programs in North America only welcome students for the September semester (at the start of their academic year). Often check with your faculty or unit coordinator to see whether going on exchange as a postgraduate student is possible.
