Costs and financial support

While on a traditional exchange program with one of our partner universities, you do not pay tuition to the host university, but you will be responsible for other associated costs and fees, such as:

  • Accommodation and living expenses
  • Travel
  • Books
  • Health and travel insurance
  • Language courses
  • Student activity fees
  • Visa/s.

We recommend that you start saving early and budget for between $1,500-$2,000 for each month of your overseas program.

To assist you with your costs, there are some funding opportunities available:
