Study Abroad - 1 Session Program

Western Sydney University

Exchange and Study Abroad students can pursue a full-time semester or year-long study program in any Western Sydney University field of study, excluding subjects from the School of Medicine or School of Nursing and Midwifery. Cross-school enrolment is permitted. We recommend that students also take at least one subject on a topic on Australia. The Australian system of higher education derives from the British model, although it has developed along unique lines. In the Australian system, general education as an element of higher education is assumed. Undergraduate students enrol in a program that is highly focused on a particular major. Undergraduate degrees at Western Sydney University normally take three years to complete on a full-time basis. To browse fields of study available at Western Sydney University, please visit Future Students. You can research subjects that can be studied at Western Sydney University using the online Handbook. Subjects’ are what you might know in your home university as ‘units’, ‘modules’ or ‘courses’. Students should be able to search for subjects by campus, session, school, etc. Make sure subjects are selected in a single campus as cross-campus enrolment is not allowed due to the time and logistics constraints of travel between campuses. Cross-campus enrolment is only available if subjects are offered across one of the campuses in Parramatta (Victoria Road, Macquarie Street and George Street).
