International Student Exchange Program (ISEP)
La Trobe University is a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a group of more than 300 universities across over 50 countries that exchange students between member universities.
Why choose ISEP?
- Access to more destinations and universities
- Budgeting made easy – you pay upfront for meals and accommodation
- Additional help and support from the ISEP team
ISEP costs & funding
An exchange with ISEP involves a pre-paid package of accommodation and meals (19 meals per week). For 2027, the ISEP Exchange program fee is $8,400 for the semester, covering accommodation and meals. After the $2,000 La Trobe Mobility Grant, eligible students pay $6,400. You will pay for this prior to departure.
As with any semester exchange, you receive a tuition fee waiver at the host institution and continue paying your tuition to La Trobe, as per usual.
