Applications for Semester 2 2027 open on 6 October
Explore the world, make new friends, and get credit towards your degree. La Trobe’s exchange program allows you to travel abroad and study at the same time for a semester or two at one of our overseas partnered universities. Applications for Semester 2 2027 are open from 6th October – 27 November 2026. Get in early!
Why go on exchange?
Semester exchange gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture while earning credit for your existing degree. There are few such opportunities which allow you to combine your domestic studies while living like a local in another country or continent! It is an experience that you will cherish for a lifetime!
La Trobe’s exchange program allows you to:
- Go abroad for a semester or full year
- Choose from over 120 host universities in 33 different countries
- Apply and have access to many grants or scholarships to support you while you’re overseas
- Get complimentary La Trobe travel insurance
While you go to study at a partner university, one of their students will come and study with us. As a result, you will be exempted from paying additional tuition fees to your host university and you will continue to pay your La Trobe fees as you do now.
Most exchange universities teach in English and you can use your pre-approved subjects to gain credits back into your La Trobe degree when you return.
La Trobe’s exchange program is open to all domestic and international students who are studying either an undergraduate or postgraduate course.
Applications for Semester 2 2027 open on 6 October till 27 November 2026.
