Study Abroad

Study Abroad programs at CDU provide opportunities for students to engage in life-changing study experiences in Australia. Students can choose to study for one or two semesters at a time. As a study abroad student, you will participate as a fee-paying student, which means fees are paid directly to CDU and not to your home institution. Generally, the courses you study at CDU can be transferred as academic credit towards your degree. Transferral of your academic credit is subject to approval from your home university. Contact your home institution to find out if any support is available to help arrange your study abroad experience.
