International Student Exchange

GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES

Are you aware of the global opportunities available to you as an Education student?

There are several ways you can incorporate overseas travel during your study; in 4th year through your compulsory professional experience with an overseas practicum placement or through the International Exchange program. 

"Student exchange is a fantastic opportunity to immerse your self in different cultures. Not just the culture of your host country but also the cultures of the plethora of people you meet through the exchange programme, extra curricular activities, additional travel and in everyday interaction. I believe that through meeting such diverse humours, idiosyncrasies and perspectives on the world a real value of your own heritage, sense of belonging and especially sense of self is discovered." Matty Braid, UTAS Faculty of Education student in exchange at Stockholm University, Sweden 2007 

International Exchange

 

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE 

The Faculty of Education offers opportunities for students enrolled in full-time courses to undertake academic study (usually one semester) at an institution which the University has a formal exchange program. 

Whilst the University of Tasmania has many formal exchange arrangements with many international partner institutions, the Faculty of Education has selected a smaller number of these partner institutions for its approved exchange programs.  These institutions offer programs which are more closely aligned with the Faculty's own programs, goals and strategic plan.

Our current international partners are:

For pre-service/undergraduate Education students

For post-graduate Education students

Message from Malmo, Sweden...

by Jemma Dobson, UTAS student on international exchange

Just a message from Malmö. Well, arrival day went smoothly. I hopped off the train into the station and there was someone to greet me. The accommodation is nice and the people here are very welcoming. Bianca, some other Australians and I have already held an Aussie BBQ and my lamingtons were a smashing success.

The introduction programme has been full on but so exciting. I have made so many contacts and friends from all over the world. There is about 15 Australians, 10 French, 20 Germans, one girl from Norway, 10-12 from Spain, girls from Austria, Turkey, one girl from the USA, and many more from Asian countries like South Korea and Japan.

Bianca and I are on the same floor on at either end, we both have purchased bicycles though I am more of a fan of the bus!! It is a weird sensation to ride without a helmet on the opposite of the road.

Every day we seem to go somewhere and do something, the international students are very keen to hang out; we have celebrated birthdays and taken a trip to Copenhagen already!!
