Student exchange

Student exchange allows you to study overseas for the equivalent of one semester or up to one year. As long as you are enrolled as a full-time student, you are eligible to study in another country while only paying your usual RMIT fees. On completion, the study undertaken can be credited towards your RMIT program.

I found that studying abroad really is a gift that you give yourself. Not only was it great for me on an academic level, but I also had an absolutely amazing time being able to travel all over America in my spare time! After returning from what I would call a life changing experience, I am now a stronger and more confident person.

RMIT has partnership agreements with over 100 international institutions. All RMIT full-time students are eligible to apply to study overseas, and you can still complete your RMIT program in the same amount of time.
