(See below for further information).

What’s great about UC Global Exchange?

  • Travel and see new places
  • Credits applied to your UC degree (subject to approvals from appropriate departments and Faculties)
  • Enhance your CV with demonstrable international engagement.
Ellie Barrett, completed an Exchange to the University of Copenhagen.

Tāroia | UC’s Global Exchange programme gives you the unique  opportunity to study at one of UC’s partner universities worldwide, as part of your UC degree.

The great thing about UC’s Global Exchange programme is that you pay your tuition fees to UC and not the partner university, and you can choose to study at some amazing locations around the world, ranging from Denmark, France, to the UK, USA, Spain, Japan, and many more.

Weekly Information Seminars

If you’re interested in an overseas exchange, the information seminars would be a good place to start. Our weekly seminars will cover the key information you need to know, including an overview of UC’s partner universities, entry requirements, and how to plan and apply for your exchange, application process, etc. You are also welcome to attend if you are only in your first year and plan to go on exchange later in your degree. It’s always a good idea to start planning early. 

See the schedule and registration links of the seminars for Term 1 on the UC’s Global Exchange web page.

 

University of California Information Session – 26 March

If you are keen to find out what University of California has to offer as an exchange destination, don’t miss this session hosted by Exchange staff from the university! Schedule and registration link for this seminar is available on UC’s Global Exchange web page. 

Drop-in Sessions
Want to speak with the team about your application? Come and see us at the Global Exchange drop-in session. 

We encourage you to attend one of the weekly information seminars (above) prior to coming to a drop-in session. The information seminar can answer most of your initial questions about the exchange programme. If you have any specific enquiries or further questions, we would be happy to discuss these with you at a drop-in session. See information about the schedule, venue and register for it on the UC’s Global Exchange web page.

 

See you there!
