International Exchange

We are disappointed to advise that the Australian National University’s decision to suspend travel approval for programs scheduled beyond Semester 1 2020 to all destinations in response to COVID-19 pandemic remains in place and as such, based on the impending deadlines, the University has made the decision to cancel Semester 1, 2021 exchange programs to all destinations.

The University will continue to monitor the situation and will provide an update on future programming when travel is feasible in the future. Please contact SOA&D Administration Office should you require any further information.

The ANU School of Art & Design (SOA&D) international exchange program provides students with the opportunity to study overseas as part of their degree. The SOA&D maintains close connections with art and design partner institutions in Asia, Europe, the UK, Canada and the USA.

An exchange student is one who exchanges places at an institution recognised by the School, to work under supervision for a stated period of time. Fees continue to be paid to the home institution. All exchanges require the agreement of both the home and receiving institutions. Students are responsible for financing their accommodation, travel, living expenses and the cost of any necessary materials while on an exchange visit.

The ANU SOA&D international exchange program is open to domestic and international students enrolled in a SOA&D Undergraduate or Postgraduate program. The usual length of the exchange period is one semester. Approval will not be given for exchange during an Honours year.

School of Art & Design students are also eligible to apply for the
ANU Global Programs Student Exchange Program. Visit the ANU website for further information.
