Other factors which are taken into account include:
- The number of exchange places available at the host university. In the unlikely event that no places are available you will be given the opportunity to apply for another university.
- Students enrolled in Bachelor of Medicine, Nursing or Pharmacy degrees cannot currently go overseas on exchange, although they can do clinical placements overseas. Some opportunities for nursing and pharmaceutical science students to do exchanges will become available in 2009 - watch this website for details.
- Some faculties may not permit you to undertake overseas study during the final semester of your course - check with your faculty exchange adviser before applying.
- Monash students at the campuses in Malaysia and South Africa can participate in exchanges to third countries (eg to Sweden or the USA ) provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
- Monash part time and distance education students can participate in the exchange progam but must study full time on campus while overseas.
The Monash Abroad office selects students to go on the exchange program.

"I found potential employers very willing to discuss my experiences gained whilst overseas on exchange. With so many global organisations, companies are always looking for people who can demonstrate that they can survive in this wide world. It gives you, and your CV, a great advantage...trust me!"
