Study Abroad and Exchange
The CQUGlobal Inbound Study Abroad and Exchange program is our most popular program, allowing you to study one term or academic year at any of our campuses across Australia and gain credit towards your degree in your home country. The program is open to students from all over the world.
You can choose units from across our eight study areas and mix them to design a personalised program that meets your academic and personal goals.
Students studying at our global network of partner institutions and nominated for the Inbound Study Abroad and Exchange program by their home institution are not required to pay tuition fees to CQUniversity.
English Language Course
CQUEnglish is an integral part of CQUniversity. It comprises three English language centres and offers English language courses that run from five to 50 weeks. The courses include intensive English language study alongside an active social program or a study tour.
This allows you to experience Australian and Indigenous culture and see some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world while improving your English language skills. You can choose to study in Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney or mix locations to get the full Australian experience.

With extensive experience in organising study tours for professional groups, government ministries, senior high school, and university students, we can customise a study tour to suit your subject area or group.

I would recommend that everyone participate in an exchange program. The quality and effort put into the units by everyone at CQU is outstanding. It might initially seem intimidating but it will become one of the greatest experiences.

This was my first time traveling to Australia and I have experienced so many new things. I enjoyed Australia’s fresh fruit, beautiful scenery and climate. The friendly teachers and fantastic accommodation at CQU were also a highlight. It has been an amazing opportunity.
