UWS Study Abroad and Exchange Programs
Study abroad and exchange students may pursue a one- or two-semester full-time study program in any UWS area of study. Students can choose from any units on offer at UWS, subject to prerequisites.
- Study abroad/exchange plus internship option: Students undertake an unpaid internship program as part of their study abroad/exchange program. The internship is fully supervised by UWS academic staff and provides students with valuable industry experience in an organisation based in western Sydney. Greater Western Sydney is recognised as Australia's third largest regional economy.
- Study abroad/exchange plus language tuition: This program is an arrangement between UWS and UWSCollege and is primarily for students who do not quite meet UWS English language requirements.
