Arts Exchange and Study Abroad Information
The Study Abroad and Exchange Programs give students the opportunity to study at an overseas university and receive credit towards their Monash Arts degree. You can also study at one of our overseas campuses.
Exchange
As an exchange student you effectively swap places with a student from one of our overseas partner universities. While studying overseas you remain enrolled full time at Monash which means you continue to pay your tuition fees to Monash. There are no additional tuition fees. Both local and international students are eligible to spend up to two semesters on exchange. For further information:
Intercampus Exchange
Monash students have the opportunity to study part of their degree at an overseas campus of Monash University. Selected Arts units are offered at both the Sunway campus in Malaysia and the South Africa campus. For further information:
Study Abroad
This program involves studying overseas at a non-partner university. Because you are enrolled at that university, you pay tuition fees to them for the period of time you are studying there instead of paying tuition fees to Monash. The fees can vary between universities. For further information:

In the case of another institution, you also need to determine whether Monash has an exchange partnership with the institution. This will determine whether you can apply as an exchange or study abroad student.
