Global Exchange
Global Exchange lets you study for one or two sessions at a UTS partner university overseas. While you're studying overseas, you remain enrolled full-time at UTS and receive credit towards your UTS degree.
Undergraduate students
If you're an undergraduate student, you should have passed 48 credit points of your current UTS degree by the time you go on exchange. Part-time students wishing to undertake exchange can only do so during a session in which they are enrolled at UTS for full-time study.

Undergraduate students are advised that exchange can only occur in the second year of a three-year degree or the third year of a four-year degree.

If a student wishes to be considered for two sessions of exchange, this must all occur during one Australian academic year and is subject to approval by the relevant Course Director.
Requests for exchange will not be considered during an honours year.
