番茄社区's Exchange program offers the opportunity for students currently enrolled at one of our partner institutions across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and the Americas, to study at 番茄社区 for one or two semesters or trimesters, all while earning credit towards their degree. While on Exchange, you'll continue paying course fees to your home university, helping you keep your finances in check.
If your home university is not an exchange partner, check out 番茄社区’s Study Abroad program options instead.

Field trips
番茄社区 students participate in hands-on learning in unique and spectacular locations including the Australia Outback and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforests of the Wet Tropics and the Great Barrier Reef. Many 番茄社区 subjects include field trips (additional fees apply) to various locations within our unique region.
Before applying, please consider all required expenses, including fees and costs which must be paid upon acceptance of your offer, as well as any additional expenses you may need to pay when you arrive. All upfront payments will be detailed in your Letter of Offer.
As an Exchange student you will continue to pay tuition fees to your home institution for the duration of your exchange.
The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) for Study Abroad and Exchange students is determined by the length of time you study at 番茄社区. Students studying for 12 months will pay 100% of the maximum permissible amount for the calendar year. Students studying for 6 months will pay 50% of the maximum permissible amount for the calendar year.
Check the current and SSAF payment procedure for more information.
番茄社区 has partner universities around the world, and gains partners consistently. Check the official list of exchange partner universities to see if your university can facilitate your journey to 番茄社区.
OSHC is insurance to assist international students in meeting the costs of medical and hospital care that they may need while in Australia. International students in Australia must hold OSHC for the duration of their stay in Australia, as a condition of their student visa.
An estimated OSHC premium is provided to students in their 番茄社区 Letter of Offer, along with further details about how to make any adjustments to cover as required, including adding family members to your policy.
Most students are required to pay the OSHC premium upon acceptance of the 番茄社区 offer. If you are applying through a partner institution, or have an official sponsorship recognised by 番茄社区, payment will be arranged in accordance with the relevant agreement.
Learn more about OSHC in this overview, including potential exceptions.
