Overseas Study Opportunities for Arts Students

• You cannot apply to go on exchange or intercampus exchange until you have completed 48 credit points of your course and received your results.
• Credit points earned at Monash College or outside Monash will not normally be counted in the 48 credit points.
• Approval will only be given to study core units overseas if the content of the overseas unit is 80% identical to the Monash core unit.  It is generally easier to get approval to study electives overseas.
• Students applying to go to universities in Canada and the USA must enrol in 5 courses (usually 15 credits) in order to receive 24 Monash credit points.
• You can normally only go overseas on exchange or intercampus exchange in your last semester if you are doing all electives - check with your course coordinator.
• If you expect to apply for professional accreditation after you have graduated, check with your course coordinator whether your overseas study will be recognised for accreditation purposes.
