Other study overseas opportunities

Studying overseas as part of your degree can be academically and personally rewarding whilst adding value to your ECU degree. In addition to the many ECU short term programs and student exchange partnerships, there are a number of other learning abroad opportunities available to students by other providers. These organisations have onsite staff providing a great source of advice, support, and information for students abroad.

Opportunities can vary from 2 weeks to a full semester, across Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and classroom activities. If you are not able to physically go-overseas, many organisations now offer virtual experiences which can compliment your studies.

The following providers offer a range of learning abroad activities.

Before embarking on any external program, you should ensure the activity is right for you and meets your academic and personal learning outcomes.
