Enrich your study with international experience.

UQ offers current students the opportunity to study overseas for one or two semesters on a Student Exchange program and earn credit towards their UQ degree.

UQ HMNS also offers four exchange programs in three destinations:

Canada

The University of Saskatchewan, Canada

A formal exchange agreement has been established between The University of Queensland and The University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. Under this agreement a limited number of students (two) who have successfully completed the prescribed first year of the BE&SS and BHSPE program at this University are permitted to complete the second year of their program at The University of Saskatchewan by undertaking comparable courses offered within their College of Physical Education. In return, an equal number of students from the College of Physical Education come to Brisbane in the middle of each year to complete the second year of their program at UQ.

Offers for the two places are based on academic performance (GPA) across Semester 1 Year 1 BHMS courses. For further information see visiting professor from the University of Saskatchewan, Professor Don Bailey, in Semester 1.
