Exchange Program

Yes. During your time on exchange, you remain enrolled at and pay tuition fees to Adelaide University. However, your tuition fees are waived by the overseas (host) university, meaning you are not charged by them.

If you pass all your approved courses at your host university, you should receive credit towards your Adelaide University degree; however, the grades you receive while on exchange won't count towards your degree.

When applying for exchange you will be asked to list 4 potential host universities in order of preference.

When on exchange, you'll need to receive full-time credit — a minimum of 18 AU units and a maximum of 24 AU units — from your overseas courses. Generally, you should be confident you have at least three courses you can study overseas that you'll likely be eligible to receive credit for in your Adelaide University degree.

Adelaide University uses the following credit equivalencies: 24 AU units = 12 University of Adelaide units = 18 UniSA units = 60 UK Credits = 30 ECTS (European Credits) = 15 US Credits; and 18 AU units = 9 University of Adelaide units = 13.5 UniSA units = 45 UK Credits = 22.5 ECTS = 12 US Credits.
