Emily travelled to South Korea on a short-term program and spent a semester exchange in the USA
Do It! You’ll never get that time back and it’s such a rich time for personal growth. I might not have had a lot of money when I was a student, but I had time. Exchange is such a unique experience and you make lifelong friends, plus companies value the fact that you have taken the drive to make study abroad happen for yourself. It demonstrates commitment, independence, and a broader desire for cultural awareness. It shows you are not just an individual player, and can do things on a larger scale with different learning styles and under different leadership styles.

Study Tours
The Faculty of Science and Engineering run a number of tours throughout the year. Some are discipline specific, others are faculty wide and open to all students.
This short-term research study tour has a focus on the tropical aquaculture and post-harvest technology. This will expose students to first hand training at all levels of the value chain of tropical seafood products at one of the leading education and training providers in India.
Students will undertake two-week immersion experience in Cambodia, Vietnam or Indonesia with a focus on promoting access to clean water, sanitation, aquaculture practices and health and hygiene.
Students will spend two weeks with Challenges Abroad Australia immersed in local culture and will apply their knowledge to begin to develop technological engineering solutions for the community challenges they observe; e.g. lack of clean water, poor waste management and / or poor infrastructure.
This short-term study tour will see students visiting Kyushu University, Fukuoka University and Kitami institute of Technology over the course of the tour. Students will be exposed to the local culture, education system and joint projects with the universities’ students to establish student-to-student collaboration, networking, as well as exchange of culture, education systems and new methodologies
This short-term student exchange will see students travelling from Curtin University to various academic institutions (i.e. National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)) and businesses in Singapore.
Part of the study will include students volunteering as mentors in specialist coding and cyber outreach clubs conducted in Singapore.
The food manufacturing and safety in Sri Lanka Study Tour will be the first mobility experience of its kind for food science, nutrition, chemistry and agriculture students. Students will work with their Sri Lankan peers on food safety and food supply chain management research.
Please email saeWIL@curtin.edu.au with your expression of interest for any of the above study tours.
Eligible students can receive $3000 – $8000 to support their experience via the New Colombo Plan.
