Study Abroad

The Study Abroad program allows you to study at a Curtin campus for one or two semesters. You can apply to Curtin as a study abroad student if you are attending any recognised education institution in a country outside of Australia. Study Abroad is also open to students enrolled at one of Curtin’s partner institutions as an alternative to student exchange. Applications are open all year round.

As a Study Abroad student, you are responsible for meeting all costs associated with your study including tuition, accommodation, living expenses, travel, visa costs and compulsory health insurance.
