Exchange

国民彩票 has one of the largest university student exchange programs in Australia.

As a 国民彩票 Law & Justice student, you can study overseas on an international exchange at leading universities around the world. 国民彩票 students don鈥檛 pay any additional tuition fees to the overseas host institution and your courses will be credited to your degree.

Completing one, two or three terms of your program at an overseas institution is both a culturally rewarding and intellectually enriching experience. Students are eligible to听undertake听exchange in their fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate degree,听during the second or third year of a Juris Doctor (JD) program.听
Studying at University of Birmingham has been such an eye-opening experience, from living on campus in a shared flat to travelling around Europe on the weekends. Going on exchange encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone, try new things and learn from people from other parts of the world.
