Opportunities to study overseas

Study abroad student montage

JCU encourages you to travel and live abroad whilst completing part of your studies at one of our partner universities. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to:

  • experience life in another culture

  • make new friends

  • develop international contacts

  • broaden your study program

  • enhance your future employment opportunities

You can spend 6-12 months at universities in Asia, USA, Canada and Europe with our Students Abroad program. You pay your normal Student Contribution amount while studying overseas (instead of international fees) and your academic results are credited towards your JCU degree.

There are more than 15 partner universities to choose from, and the list is growing. Locations available include:

  • Canada

  • France

  • Germany

  • Japan

  • The Netherlands

  • Norway

  • Sweden

  • United States of America

To assist with the cost of overseas study, there are JCU and government grants and loans are available to eligible students. Details are available through the JCU Students Abroad office.

Staff in the Students Abroad office can help you choose a partner university that will be right for you, and will take you through the application process.
